Norway has $1.8 trillion in its Wealth Fund - will it give some to Ukraine?

from History in the Making: The War in Ukraine

Will Norway tap its massive Sovereign Wealth Fund and provide Ukraine what's needed to win the war?Norway has enjoyed both higher volumes and prices of gas exports to Europe once Russia stopped sending gas to Europe in 2022. And as a founding NATO member with a border with Russia, Norway not only has the financial capacity to help Ukraine win the war, but also the political and security motivation to do so as well. With an isolationist US in the west and a threatening Russia in the east, look to Norway to help drive Europe's defense in the coming years. To delve into these topics, I spoke with Damien Margou, a lawyer from Norway who is deeply involved in the defense sector in Ukraine. Damien has been a long-time supporter of Ukraine, and recently moved here to support the nation's fight against Russia. With intricate knowledge of Norway's political dynamics as well as Ukraine's defense sector, Damien has a unique vantage point to discuss these important topics.Damien is an experienced attorney with a focus on the Ukrainian and European defence industry with a background from renowned law firms in Scandinavia and Ukraine. Fluent in 7 languages, he has a unique perspective of legal, investment, and political developments in Norway, the rest of the Nordics, and Ukraine.If you want to invest in Ukraine' defense, to not only enjoy solid returns but also be on the right side of history, please write Damien at [email protected].  To connect and message with Mark on LinkedIn:www.linkedin.com/in/mark-mcnamee-58950910 To learn more, visit:https://ubn.network/ Listen to more episodes on Mission Matters:https://missionmatters.com/author/Mark-McNamee/ If you found this episode valuable, follow the podcast and share it with someone who wants to better understand the war in Ukraine.
