Norway’s proposed 2027 defense budget includes nearly $8.9 billion in new support for Ukraine, Kyiv Independent reported on October 7, citing the Norwegian government.
The funding would provide 85 billion Norwegian kroner ($8.89 billion) through the Nansen Support Program, which combines military and financial assistance for Ukraine.

Norway had already committed nearly $8 billion in support for Ukraine in 2026, covering drones, long-range artillery, and maritime defense.
The Kyiv Independent noted that the new allocation would bring the overall size of the Nansen program to roughly $36 billion.
The new proposal comes as Ukraine faces an estimated $40 billion state budget shortfall for 2027 and is urging international partners to increase their financial contributions, the Kyiv Independent reported.
Oslo also recently provided $100 million to the EU’s Ukraine Facility, which supports Ukraine through reform-linked financing.
Norway has separately provided $200 million in direct budget support through the World Bank’s PEACE program and has expanded defense-industrial cooperation with Ukraine, including plans to manufacture thousands of Ukrainian mid-range strike drones in Norway.
According to data cited by the Kyiv Independent from the Kiel Institute’s Ukraine Support Tracker, Norway has been the ninth-largest donor to Ukraine by total allocations since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion.
Norway had recently pledged nearly $12 million to help trace and return deported Ukrainian children, unlawfully detained civilians, and prisoners of war. The funding was directed through UNICEF and the International Committee of the Red Cross to support tracing, rehabilitation, and reintegration efforts.
