Zelenskyy revealed details of Norway's defense assistance to Ukraine
This was stated by the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky in an interview with the Norwegian broadcaster NRK.
Zelensky noted that he could not name the exact number of air defense systems, but emphasized that Norway cooperated with other countries to provide additional missiles, as its own reserves were insufficient.
Speaking about joint production and the IRIS-T system, the president noted that the activation of one country stimulated other partners to join in the assistance.
And it was like a wave: when one country stepped up, other real allies like Norway would also join in. It was very good.
