Ukraine is ravaged daily by Russian aggression. This week saw widespread attacks on power plants. Civilians were also killed again in attacks on the city of Kharkiv. Ukraine needs more to protect itself.
That is why @DefensieMin Ollongren, @HankeBruinsSlot, @leeuwengew, @Minister_Fin Van Weyenberg and I just announced in a conversation with @ZelenskyyUA that the Netherlands will release € an extra 1 billion for military support this year. That is on top of the € 2 billion that had already been agreed. It has also been decided that we will make 3 billion € available for military support for next year. We are also releasing € 400 million to keep the Ukrainian economy afloat and for critical energy infrastructure repairs.
In addition, we continue to do everything possible to deliver more ammunition and anti-aircraft defenses faster, together with international partners. Here we work closely with Denmark and the Czech Republic, among others.
