Norway is changing its policy: it will send 2,000 anti-tank grenade launchers to Ukraine
The Norwegian government will send weapons to Ukraine, 2,000 anti-tank grenade launchers.
This was reported by Reuters.
The decision overturns Norway's policy of not sending weapons to non-NATO countries at war or at risk of armed conflict since the 1950s.
Norway will hand over up to 2,000 units of anti-tank grenade launchers M72, the government said.
"Norway is pursuing a strict policy on the export of military equipment, but Ukraine is currently facing an emergency," said Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre.
On Sunday, Norway announced that it would withdraw its largest sovereign wealth fund from Russia and promised to send helmets, body armor, and other equipment to Ukraine.
As previously reported, Canada will provide Ukraine with anti-tank weapons and upgraded ammunition to support its fight against the Russian invasion, and will ban imports of Russian crude oil.
