  "account": "Norway and Ukraine have formally agreed to enhance their energy cooperation, with a focus on attracting private investment to the sector, according to the Norwegian Ministry of Energy. During Terje Aasland's visit to Ukraine, the two nations signed the updated energy cooperation agreement, which builds upon an existing deal established in 2024. This agreement aligns with the 2026 strategic partnership declaration, signed by Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The Norwegian government emphasizes that Norway has valuable expertise to share with Ukraine, while also recognizing opportunities to learn from Ukraine's energy preparedness and critical infrastructure safeguards. Aasland expressed his commitment to facilitating a mutually beneficial partnership that strengthens both countries' energy sectors. Norway has been a consistent supporter of Ukraine throughout Russia's full-scale war, recently providing a EUR 40 million grant to bolster Ukraine's energy resilience.",
