Norway premier Jonas Gahr Store speaks to media in Berlin

Norway's Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Stoere has announced that Norway is ready to fund Patriot missile systems for Ukraine's air defenses. Stoere made this declaration at a joint press conference with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz in Berlin on Monday, July 21, 2025.

The Norwegian premier stated that Norway is committed to supporting Ukraine's defense capabilities, particularly in the face of ongoing conflict. This move comes amidst increasing international support for Ukraine's military needs, with other nations also pledging substantial contributions to the delivery of defense systems. The Netherlands, for instance, has also expressed its intention to make a significant contribution to the U.S. defense systems, according to Dutch Newspaper De Telegraaf [3].

Stoere's announcement underscores Norway's commitment to international security and its role in the global effort to bolster Ukraine's defenses. This support is part of a broader trend of European nations stepping up their involvement in the conflict, reflecting a collective resolve to counter Russian aggression.

The timing of this announcement coincides with a series of high-level diplomatic visits and international summits, highlighting the ongoing geopolitical shifts and the importance of coordinated international responses to global crises.
