More details The Netherlands continues to play a pivotal role in supporting Ukraine amidst the ongoing conflict with Russia. Key figures include Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof and Defense Minister Ruben Brekelmans, both actively engaging in discussions regarding military aid and strategic investments in Ukraine. The Netherlands has committed a substantial €700 million investment package for UAVs and additional €22 million for air defense and cyber resilience projects.
