STOCKHOLM, Sept 8 – Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskiy arrived in Norway on Tuesday to attend the funeral of King Harald V, the office of Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Stoere said.
Russia has resumed its near-constant drone and missile attacks on Kyiv after a brief halt for the visit of U.S. peace negotiators.
“Ukraine has a critical need for air defence and other military support, and they are facing a demanding winter,” Stoere said. He said talks with Stoere would focus on air defence and efforts to help Kyiv face Russian attacks through another winter. There would also be discussions with companies taking part in the Freyja initiative to create a European anti-ballistic system, Zelenskiy said.
Stoere said in a statement that he would meet Zelenskiy on Tuesday evening, with their discussions to focus on Ukraine’s air defence. Russian strikes killed five people in the Ukrainian capital on Tuesday, and other fatalities were reported in various parts of the country, officials said.
