It includes a €600 million package, with approximately 25% allocated directly to the Navy for critical operational requirements at sea,” Svet stated.The plan also includes measures to protect Ukraine’s maritime infrastructure during the ongoing war. Additionally, Estonia will support Ukraine’s civilian maritime sector, focusing on initiatives such as "Grain from Ukraine" and strengthening port capacities. Earlier, Norway announced it would provide $241 million to strengthen the Ukrainian Navy. The funding will, among other things, protect people in Ukraine from attacks, conduct mine clearance operations, and train Ukrainian soldiers. Additionally, money has also been allocated to the maritime training center in 2025. At this center, personnel from several countries, including Norway, train Ukrainian soldiers in maritime operations.
