How Norway Made $111 Billion From The Ukraine War - The Full Story

When Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, 2022, Europe faced its worst energy crisis in decades. But while millions struggled to pay heating bills and countries scrambled for alternatives to Russian gas, one nation quietly made a fortune: Norway.

In just two years, Norway earned an extra $111 BILLION from selling natural gas to desperate European nations. That's more money than all the military aid sent to Ukraine by the US and Germany combined. But instead of sharing this windfall, Norway kept almost all of it - sparking one of the most controversial debates in modern European politics.

This is the untold story of how a former fishing nation struck oil, built the world's largest sovereign wealth fund, and then faced accusations of war profiteering when Europe needed them most.
