A somber and serious mood in the Norwegian Parliament today, with the PM's speech and comments from the parties.
Seems to be broad support for a considerable increase in the support to Ukraine, but no numbers mentioned. New meeting later today.

There also seems to be broad support for accelerating and possibly increasing the defense pledge. The government will come back to Parliament on this later this spring.
So, to sum up impressions on these two points:
A lot of good talk, not yet in the action phase.

Today's meeting in Parliament clearly places Norway in the engagers group, those who will try to work with the Trump administration.
The larger parties clearly don't like the talk about the US not being our most important ally and doubts over Article 5.

Still, they are prepared to take a stand where our views don't align, such as on Ukraine.
The PM spoke about a European peace plan in the works, led by UK and France, where the UK is seen as the key player, with Norwegian eyes.

Our PM highlighted that strengthening European defense (+the alt plan), goes along both national and European NATO track, where the EU plays an important part for financing, but not an EU defense track.
This because it's important to have UK, Canada, Turkey and Norway onboard

RT @haynesdeborah: Ukraine’s ambassador to the UK, ditching any diplomatic niceties, says Donald Trump + Vladimir Putin are “destroying” the world order
Valerii Zaluzhnyi - former head of Ukraine’s armed forces - told a conference at Chatham House in London on Thursday: “The failure to qualify actions of Russia as an aggression is a huge challenge for the entire world and Europe, in particular.
"Because we see, it’s not just the axis of evil and Russia trying to revise the world order – but the US is finally destroying this order."

@Capt_Navy: I think Turkey will have to be very confident that a ceasefire will hold before they make any changes in relation to Montreux.
They take being guardian of the straits very seriously and there are centuries of history leading up to where we are today.
