Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store has proposed to allocate NOK 15 billion annually for five years (over $1. 4 billion) for humanitarian and military assistance to Ukraine, NRK reports..

In the first year, it is proposed to send half of the money provided to humanitarian aid, the other half to military assistance..

Prime Minister's proposal must be supported by parliament.

According to the Norwegian edition of The Local, there are no guarantees that the deputies will approve this proposal in its current form, since the government does not have a majority in parliament: in order to approve laws, the centralists in power must receive the support of at least part of the opposition every time.
