Today, Minister of Defense Bj\u00f8rn Arild Gram (Sp) met his British colleague Ben Wallace in Oslo, as well as leaders from the ten countries participating in the Joint Expeditionary Force exercise. The government is considering further arms deliveries to Ukraine, Gram confirmed at the press conference after the meeting. He will not say specifically which weapons are relevant. – We understand that there is a need for further donation. Norway has provided weapons in several rounds, the previous shipment was heavy artillery, says Gram.

They also have good contact with Ukraine to get an overview of the needs. – We are considering further deliveries, says Gram, who added that the government also contributes financial support via a British fund so that Ukraine can buy weapons itself. Ben Wallace met with President Zelensky in Kyiv last week. Now they disagree on the extent to which the arms deliveries that have been promised will arrive soon enough.

Wallace believes the equipment has arrived. – I saw the report. I think almost all of the equipment the UK has sent has arrived. And I think almost all of the equipment from other donor countries, including Norway, has also arrived, but this is something we will look at, Wallace said when asked by news. He stressed that it is important to assist Ukraine not only with weapons, but with software and training to use the systems. NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg presents the documents for Sweden and Finland’s membership application in Brussels, 18 May.

But opposition from Turkey has made the process difficult. Defense Minister Gram can not say whether the negotiations will be concluded before the Madrid meeting on 29 June. – We must necessarily use the time it takes. I know there are discussions going on. I hope it goes as fast as possible, he says to NTB. He will not call it a defeat if one does not manage to find a solution before the summit. – The most important thing is that we solve the challenges and get Sweden and Finland as members of NATO, he says. The British Minister of Defense, for his part, says that he will visit Turkey next week to start negotiations with Sweden and Finland. “It is important to listen to the Turks’ concerns,” Wallace said. – All reason to fear that Putin’s ambitions are greater than Donbas US Deputy Secretary of Defense Colin Kahl said yesterday that it is likely that Putin will continue to take over the whole of Ukraine. Secretary of Defense Gram shares that assessment. – It is difficult to predict what Putin’s plans really are. There is no doubt that the original plans have been rejected. But there is every reason to fear that his ambitions are greater than securing the Donbas area, says Gram, who is now on his way to Brussels to meet the other defense ministers in NATO.
