The Nordic countries, particularly Norway, are stepping up to support Ukraine militarily. Plans are underway for a significant training and equipment initiative, with Norway committing approximately $937 million over the next few years for this purpose. This assistance is part of a broader Nordic-Baltic collaboration aimed at strengthening Ukraine's ground forces [1][3][5].
