Norway to increase funding for Ukrainian refugees

The Norwegian government will increase the money available to settle refugees fleeing Ukraine as it expects the number of asylum seekers coming to Norway to be higher than initial estimates, the Local reports.

“We have issued a request to the municipalities to settle a total of 35,000 refugees in 2023. But the latest forecasts we have seen show that there may be even more. That is why we need to resettle more refugees,” Minister for Labour and Inclusion of Norway Marte Mjøs Persen told Norwegian media.
