Ukraine's Defense Minister Rustem Umierov said that Norway would finance the production of Ukrainian weapons and equipment, and also spoke about a new format of cooperation - the "Norwegian model".

According to Censor.NET, this is stated in his post on his Facebook page.

"During a visit to Oslo, we agreed with Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre and Defense Minister Bjørn Arild Gram that Norway would join the "Danish format" of support - direct financing of production in Ukraine. This will allow us to produce and supply the necessary weapons for our Defense Forces faster," Umierov said.

He also noted that during the meeting they discussed a new format of cooperation - the "Norwegian model".

"We are talking about a new model of investing in Ukrainian defense technology companies. Details will follow later. I am grateful to Norway for its determination to support Ukraine and readiness to deepen our partnership," added the Minister of Defense of Ukraine.
