Umierov noted that during the meeting, the defence ministers of the member states discussed plans for 2025, Ukraine’s urgent needs and “how to meet them together as quickly as possible”.
“Investments in the Ukrainian defence industry are a separate priority. An increasing number of countries are joining the effort to finance Ukrainian production, particularly through the Danish model, with Sweden, Norway and Lithuania taking part,” he said.
Ukraine’s defence minister added that the next meeting in the Nordic Group-Ukraine format will be held in Ukraine.
Background:
Last week, Umierov announced that Norway would finance the production of Ukrainian weapons and equipment, thus joining the Danish model of military support for Ukraine.
At the Ukraine-Northern Europe summit last month, the prime ministers of Iceland, Denmark, Norway and Sweden expressed their interest in further cooperation with the Ukrainian defence industry.
