OSLO - The Norwegian parliament on Thursday agreed to increase the country's support for Ukraine in 2025, with an additional allocation of 50 billion Norwegian kroner ($4.59 billion).

The extra funding brings Norway's total contribution to Ukraine for this year to 85 billion Norwegian kroner, and to 205 billion Norwegian kroner for the period up to 2030.

"A broad political agreement has been reached in the Storting (the Norwegian parliament) to substantially increase Norway's support for Ukraine," Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store said in a statement.
