AMSTERDAM, Oct 28 (Reuters) – The Netherlands will supply Ukraine with €500 million ($556 million) in military support this winter, Dutch Prime Minister Rob Jetten said on Wednesday.
The support will be used to supply drones and other material to strengthen Ukraine’s defence, he said after a meeting with Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskiy in The Hague.
Earlier on Wednesday, ahead of Zelenskiy’s visit, the Dutch government announced it would give Ukraine €1.2 billion in non-military support in the next three years.
The government pledged €380 million to help reconstruction in Ukraine next year and around €410 million in both 2028 and 2029.
Part of the money will be used for funds that support Dutch companies willing to invest in the rebuilding of Ukraine, the government said.
Other support is intended for urgent repairs of Ukraine’s energy infrastructure and the supply of machines to Ukrainian industry.
