The Netherlands is allocating EUR 22 million in aid to Ukraine. The funds will be used, among other things, to strengthen the air defense system, says Dutch Foreign Minister Caspar Veldkamp.
"At yesterday's NATO-Ukraine Council, I also stressed the importance of bolstering Ukraine's military capacities. The Netherlands is allocating an additional €22 million to projects aimed at Ukraine's air defense and cyber resilience via NATO,” he said.
According to the Minister, third-country assistance to the Russian military machine requires a more decisive and coordinated response from NATO and Allies.
“Above all, we must stay the course when it comes to supporting Ukraine. There simply is no alternative,” states Veldkamp.
Assistance to Ukraine from the Netherlands
The Netherlands has consistently supported Ukraine against Russian aggression. In mid-October, it was reported that the Netherlands had more than 6 billion euros for military assistance to Ukraine. There will be no reduction in support.
