During his visit, H.R.H. Crown Prince Haakon paid tribute to the Ukrainian soldiers — and to the families who bear the weight of war.

Their courage, sacrifice, and unwavering defense of freedom move us deeply.

🇺🇦 Norway stands in solidarity with Ukraine.

Norway’s history has instilled in us the enduring truth that peace must be safeguarded and freedom resolutely defended. Ukraine’s current struggle serves as a solemn reminder of the importance of unity and international solidarity. Norway stands with Ukraine in profound respect.
