It was a pleasure to welcome Norway’s Ambassador to Ukraine, Lars Ragnar Hansen @NorwayAmbUKR. We focused on strengthening Ukraine’s air defence and protecting people from Russia’s terror. We also discussed economic issues and support for businesses. The Government is working to establish a War Risk Insurance Fund and has already allocated more than $1 billion in the draft State Budget for 2027 to capitalise the Fund. We hope Norway will become one of its key donors. We also talked about ways to hold Russia accountable for the crimes it has committed and the damage it has caused to Ukraine. I thank Norway for its indispensable support for Ukraine and its readiness to continue strengthening our joint efforts to protect people and bring a just peace closer.
