The Dutch government has allocated 500 million euros for a new military support package for Ukraine, announced by Defense Minister Yesilgöz during a visit by her Ukrainian counterpart Fedorov. Half of the funds, 250 million euros, will go toward purchasing drones from the Netherlands' defense industry, while the other half will be used for American weapons such as Patriot missiles and F-16 fighter jets. The funding comes from an existing reserve for military support to Ukraine. The Netherlands signed a ten-year security agreement with Kyiv in 2024, and approximately 12 billion euros in total军事
