ANALISIS KEBIJAKAN NORWEGIA DALAM MEMBERIKAN BANTUAN SENJATA KE UKRAINA

This research aims to analyze Norway's reasons for providing weapons assistance to Ukraine. Previously, Norway was a country that had a policy that they did not send weapons aid to non-NATO countries that were at war or at risk of armed conflict. However, this policy, which had existed since the 1950s, was canceled after Russia's invasion of Ukraine. This research also uses identity-based constructivist theory and uses explanatory qualitative research methods, analysis using the library research method where the data sources come from books, online news and online journals that support the research. Russia's invasion of Ukraine made Norway announce that Norway would impose sanctions and cancel cooperation with Russia by withdrawing its largest sovereign wealth fund in the world from Russia and promising to send various types of weapons aid to Ukraine such as an initial delivery of 100 air defense missiles, followed by with subsequent deliveries of weapons in the form of helmets, bulletproof vests and several other weapons equipment.
