Huitfeldt does not rule out that she was incompetent in donating weapons to Ukraine – Latest news – news

18 October 2023 at 16:44 Huitfeldt does not rule out that she was incompetent in donating weapons to Ukraine – In retrospect, and with the clarification from the Legal Department on August 28, I see that I should have done more to follow up on how my husband followed up on the advice I passed on. I take full responsibility for that. This is what former Foreign Minister Anniken Huitfeldt writes to the Storting’s Control and Constitution Committee. – As you know, my husband owned shares in the Kongsberg group ASA in the period 2 May to 31 July 2023. I cannot rule out that I may have been incompetent when I participated in the processing of cases in the government related to the donation of defense material to Ukraine with associated reacquisitions from Kongsberg-gruppen ASA, while my husband owned shares in the company. One example was the government’s donation of NASAMS air defense material to Ukraine, published in a press release on 12 July 2023, writes Huitfeldt.
