Yesterday I posted a diary about the possibility of Norway tapping its enormously rich National Sovereign Fund to help Ukraine stand up in its fight against Russian aggression.
Well, it didn’t take long for the good people of Norway to get it done. Today all the parties in Norway agreed to more than double Norway’s financial aid to Ukraine for a total of nearly $8 billion in 2025. This is in addition to the nearly $3 billion in military assistance already pledged and in the pipe line:
Norway to more than double its aid to Ukraine "As a result of the Prime Minister's meeting with political parties in the Storting, the funding for the Nansen for Ukraine program this year will increase from $3.2 billion to $7.7 billion," the Verkhovna Rada reported. newsukraine.rbc.ua/...
And it would appear it is not only Norway. Germany’s incoming and outgoing administrations have also jointly worked out an aid package of nearly €3 billion(about $3.2 billion) for Ukraine with likely more on the way:
Germany assembles €3 billion military aid package for Ukraine – MoD newsukraine.rbc.ua/...
And Poland also announced that it is preparing its 46th aid package for Ukraine of about $216 million:
Kyiv and Warsaw have prepared a joint action plan to implement urgent and long-term defense projects. www.ukrinform.net/...
There are likely to be more such announcements from other European capitals soon. Then there’s the big enchilada being proposed by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen:
"We are in an era of rearmament. And Europe is ready to massively boost its defence spending." package of proposals that she said could mobilise up to 800 billion euros for European defence.(emphasis mine). Von der Leyen put forward the 150 billion euro fund for priorities such as air defence, missiles and drones as part of aof proposals that she said could.(emphasis mine). www.reuters.com/...
Krasnov and his minions can go on bruiting out their daily threats and insults to Ukraine and Europe,(like claiming today that he does not believe Europe will come to America’s aid. Which NATO country was the most recent to invoke Article 5 during the Afghanistan and Iraqi quixotic invasions? Yep, Trump knows nothing) but Europe is quietly and purposefully taking care of business.
ADAPTIVE INDOMITABLE UKRAINE. As an obviously grateful, relieved and very happy President Zelenskyy said yesterday in Brussels to the leaders of Europe … “ We know we're not alone”. Ukraine and Europe Will Stand.
SLAVA UKRAINI !
