Now the likes of Norway are preparing for the long haul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some Western European countries are still holdouts, with Switzerland\u2019s lower house of parliament last year repeatedly voted against a change in the rules that would allow re-exports of Swiss-made weapons to Ukraine, in opposition to the country\u2019s upper house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Supporting Ukraine is important for Norwegian and European security, and \u201cwe must plan for the possibility that the illegal war of aggression may be prolonged,\u201d Petersson said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The policy exemption was driven by the Norwegian government, according to the state secretary, who declined to say which companies are expected to benefit from the new rule. The change will make it easier for Ukrainian authorities to buy what they need directly from Norway\u2019s defense industry, he said. Export licenses will be granted on a case-by-case basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Norwegian defense company Kongsberg together with Raytheon developed the National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile Systems, better known as NASAMS, of which several have been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/global\/europe\/2023\/12\/13\/norway-to-provide-more-air-defense-systems-to-ukraine\/\">donated to Ukraine<\/a>. Meanwhile, Finland expects to rely on production sites of Norwegian-Finnish ammunition producer Nammo to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/global\/europe\/2023\/12\/14\/finland-to-double-ammunition-production-build-new-factories\/\">ramp up production<\/a> of artillery shells, according to the country\u2019s Defence Ministry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Norway last year allocated 75 billion kroner ($7.1 billion) in support for Ukraine over five years as part of the so-called Nansen program. The country has set aside 15 billion kroner for 2024, of which half for military support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThere is room for flexibility in the distribution of funds within each budget year based on Ukraine\u2019s needs,\u201d Petersson said. \u201cIt is therefore too early to say how the distribution between civilian and military support will end up in 2024, and what the total amount will be.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The policy shift comes as nations in Europe begin planning their long-term Ukraine support
