Several media are learning that Norway is donating F-16 aircraft to Ukraine. On Thursday, Jonas Gahr Støre is in Ukraine.
Both the two media state that they have confirmed this from several independent sources. TV 2 first reported the news.
NRK writes that according to what they understand, the extended foreign affairs and defense committee at the Storting has been informed about this.
Also Aftenposten writes that they get confirmation from a source that Norway provides F-16 aircraft.
Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre (Ap) is in Ukraine on Thursday.
The government has long said it is considering sending F-16s to Ukraine. Last week, the Netherlands and Denmark announced that they will donate F-16 aircraft, in connection with the visit of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyj to the countries. Denmark has said it will provide 19 planes, while the Netherlands has so far not said how many planes it will provide.
