“It is necessary to protect the population and infrastructure of Ukraine from the attacks of the Russian Black Sea Fleet,” he said, adding that it is also important to protect the export of grain and other products by sea, which carries of important income in Ukraine.

Much of the funding will go towards innovation and autonomy under the Maritime Capability Coalition, launched by Norway and Britain last year to make Ukraine’s navy more compatible with Western allies.

Support includes donations from the Norwegian Armed Forces, as well as military equipment purchased from industry for subsequent donation.

The funds will also be used for mine clearance operations and training of Ukrainian soldiers.
