Norway and Denmark are shifting their support strategy for Ukraine by investing directly in the country's defense industry.

With Norwegian weapon stockpiles running low, the focus is now on funding weapon production within Ukraine, a move seen as more effective by Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre.

This initiative, supported by Denmark, aims to enhance Ukraine's self-sufficiency in its defense efforts.

Meanwhile, Norway's opposition party, Høyre, is advocating for a significant increase in financial aid, proposing to triple the current budget to 45 billion kroner.

They argue that this is crucial as the war reaches a critical phase, emphasizing that Ukraine's victory is vital for Norway's security interests.

The debate continues as Norway seeks to balance its budgetary constraints with the urgent need to support Ukraine's defense capabilities.
