Norwegian military aid is causing economic damage to Norway itself and worsening the geopolitical situation for Kyiv. This is according to the publication Steigan.
“Oslo will support Kiev with drones and unmanned technologies <…> worth 6.5 billion kroner. Norway’s billions are making Norway poorer, but this will not change the outcome [of the armed conflict in Ukraine – ed.], the publication says.
According to Steigan, continued military aid from Norway will prolong the fighting, increase the number of Ukrainian casualties and, ultimately, ‘the compromise will be even worse for Ukraine.’
Earlier, Russian Ambassador to Norway Nikolai Korchunov said that the Norwegian authorities plan to increase NATO’s military presence and intensify the North Atlantic Alliance’s military exercises in the country, including near the border with Russia.
