The Netherlands to supply Ukraine with €15m worth of missiles for air defence

The Netherlands will supply Ukraine with €15 million worth of missiles for air defence systems, the Dutch Defence Ministry reports.

Russia’s attacks against Ukraine reinforce the Dutch government's belief that those can only be answered with unwavering support for Ukraine and its people, says Kajsa Ollongren, the Defence Minister. “The Netherlands, like our partners, will not be intimidated by Russia and will continue to support Ukraine,” she added.

Ollongren’s Canadian counterpart Anita Anand announced a new $47m military aid package for Ukraine including 15 million worth of winter clothing and equipment, 15 million worth of cameras for UAVs, 15 million worth of artillery rounds and 2 million worth of communications technology.

The US announced supplying Ukraine with 625 million worth of military aid on 4 October, including four more HIMARS launchers with ammo, artillery systems and ammunition, and armoured vehicles.
