Ukraine will receive almost 30 Viking all-terrain vehicles. Military equipment will be provided by the Netherlands, states Dutch Minister of Defense Ruben Brekelmans.

“Ukraine desperately needs our help in the fight against the Russian aggressor,” the minister emphasized.

He noted that the Netherlands will provide 28 Viking tracked vehicles. According to him, the Marines have specially trained Ukrainian soldiers for them.

“Our support for Ukraine continues to keep Russia at bay,” he said.

Assistance to Ukraine from the Netherlands

Back in July, Ukraine received the first F-16 fighter jets from the Netherlands.

In addition, before the delivery of the fighter jets, the Netherlands promised to donate 300 million euros for ammunition for F-16 fighters.

Recently, it also became known that the Netherlands will purchase 51 mobile radars for Ukraine to detect drones.
