The Netherlands has calculated the total amount of military aid to Ukraine for six months

Paris, February 6 – Dutch Defense Minister Kaisa Olungren said on Monday that Dutch military aid to Ukraine over the past six weeks amounted to 1.07 billion euros.

It is noted that out of this amount, the cost of military equipment and equipment provided by the Netherlands to Ukraine is estimated at 463.8 million euros.

In Ollongren’s previous report – December 16, 2022 – the total amount of military aid to Ukraine was €987 million.

Earlier it was reported that the Dutch authorities announced assistance to Ukraine in 2023 for 2.5 billion euros.

At the end of January, the Netherlands announced its intention to supply two Patriot missile launchers and missiles to Kyiv.

In addition, Hague said that they would consider the possibility of supplying Ukraine with F-16 fighters, and also did not rule out paying for the supply of German Leopard tanks to Kiev.

The Russian Federation sent a memorandum to NATO countries over the supply of weapons to Ukraine. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has indicated that any shipment containing weapons to Ukraine would become a legitimate target for Russia. The Russian Foreign Ministry stated that NATO countries were “playing with fire” by supplying arms to Ukraine. The press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation, Dmitry Peskov, noted that the injection of weapons into Ukraine from the West does not contribute to the success of the Russian-Ukrainian negotiations and will have a negative impact.
