Ukraine to Produce Drones in Norway, Oslo Says
The agreement includes joint drone production, technology sharing and broader military cooperation, with Norway citing lessons from Ukraine’s battlefield experience.
- On Tuesday, Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Stoere and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy signed a defense declaration in Oslo, establishing a strategic partnership centered on joint drone production and deepened military cooperation.
- Amid Russia's ongoing aggression, this agreement formalizes cooperation between the nations. Norway has committed about $28 billion to Kyiv through 2030, establishing itself as one of Ukraine's most generous donors per capita.
- Under the pact, Norway will support drone production in Ukraine while Ukrainian drones will also be manufactured on Norwegian territory. Both nations will share critical technological data and knowledge to sustain Ukraine's operational edge.
- Zelenskiy, who met German Chancellor Friedrich Merz in Berlin earlier Tuesday, continues expanding defense ties; Ukraine recently secured arrangements with three Gulf countries and signed a 10-year security agreement with Bulgaria in late March.
- Norway plans to integrate lessons from Ukraine's battlefield experience into its own military planning while accelerating security guarantees within the Coalition of the Willing framework, bolstering long-term stability across Europe.
