Norway is currently embroiled in a heated debate over the extent of its financial support to Ukraine amidst the ongoing conflict with Russia.

The Norwegian government has proposed a 15 billion kroner aid package for Ukraine in the 2025 budget, but this has sparked calls for significantly higher contributions.

The Rogaland Labour Party has made a bold move, urging the government to increase the aid to 90 billion kroner, a proposal that was overwhelmingly supported within the party.

This comes as other political factions, such as the Liberal Party and the Conservative Party, have also suggested higher amounts, with figures reaching up to 105 billion kroner.

The debate centers around the potential impact of such aid on Norway's Oil Fund, with some arguing that direct support to Ukraine could yield better returns than traditional investments.

The discussion also touches on the moral and security implications, as Norway's increased support could influence the outcome of the war and potentially deter Russian aggression.

However, there are concerns about the risks of provoking Russia and the broader geopolitical consequences.
