The Minister of Defense confirmed this on Dagsnytt 18, which is currently ongoing. – Now tanks have become very sought after. Norway and the government support the donation of tanks to Ukraine. Norway must be involved, says Gram. He will not say anything about the number. – It must be supported by training of Ukrainian soldiers and funding. In sum, we must support Ukraine as best as possible in a defensive battle, says Gram. – Will it be the same type as Germany? – There are slightly different variants. We have Leopard-4, answers Gram. At the same time, US President Joe Biden holds a press conference on Ukraine. There he confirms that the US is sending 31 Abrams tanks to Ukraine. Believes Russia can be forced into negotiations Former defense chief Harald Sunde believes Norway, together with other countries, must provide between 100 and 300 tanks to Ukraine. – The situation is now critical for Ukraine, which has been fighting for almost a year. They stand still. They are calling for help, and we must be in solidarity, he says to news. SUPPORTS: Former defense chief Harald Sunde believes tanks to Ukraine can force Russia into negotiations. Photo: Øystein Antonsen / news He believes the tanks will give Ukraine the opportunity to be offensive and show strength. In this way, they can force Russia to the negotiating table. – All wars and conflicts, at least most, end at the negotiating table. The only means of power missing now are tanks. It is a means of power that can lead to a negotiating table more quickly, says Sunde. – Will it weaken your own defence? – That’s why we have to buy new ones. We need to order and buy new ones now, and get a plan for delivery. We also have some obligations in our own defence, where we are part of NATO’s forces in Lithuania, but Russia is also so weakened that we have to take this risk, Sunde believes. Several countries have confirmed Germany confirmed on Wednesday that it will send tanks to Ukraine, and later that day the US confirmed the same. The decision arouses strong reactions from Russia. – This extremely dangerous decision takes the conflict to a new level of confrontation and is directly contrary to statements by German politicians that Germany will not be drawn in, says Russia’s ambassador in Berlin, Sergey Netshaev.
