According to TASS, Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store stated today, Monday, that these monies are part of the previously announced $1 billion Norwegian aid package to Ukraine during the international conference ONS-2022 in the Norwegian city of Stanford.

The gas will first be used to heat hospitals and schools, according to Jar Store, and payments will be handled through the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development.
