The partnership goes beyond military aid, linking battlefield support with reconstruction plans and new efforts to help Ukrainian veterans return to civilian life.
Canada and Norway are coordinating practical steps to implement Ukraine’s security guarantees. Their cooperation covers strengthening military assistance, supporting reconstruction, and coordinating sanctions policy toward Russia.
This is stated in the joint statement by the Prime Ministers of Canada and Norway.
Canada and Norway remain steadfast in their support for Ukraine and its fight for independence, sovereignty, and territorial integrity. Both countries continue to work with partners to fulfill their commitments regarding security guarantees for Ukraine, including strengthening military support and facilitating reconstruction, while coordinating sanctions.

State-owned companies from Canada and Norway are finalizing a partnership agreed upon earlier this year. It is intended to facilitate the procurement of military equipment for Ukraine.
Canada and Norway will also work with partners to support the recovery, reintegration, and economic participation of Ukrainian veterans.

In addition, this month Canada announced the allocation of more than $30 million for the rehabilitation of Ukrainian veterans. Thus, the agreements between the two countries provide simultaneous support for Ukraine’s defense capabilities, reconstruction, and veterans.
