The Dutch government said on Wednesday it would give Ukraine €1.2 billion ($1.3 billion) in non-military support in the next three years, announcing the move a few hours ahead of a visit by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy to The Hague.
– Zelenskiy is expected in the Netherlands on Wednesday afternoon for meetings with Dutch Prime Minister Rob Jetten and other cabinet members, followed by a visit to Dutch King Willem-Alexander, Jetten’s office said.
– 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.
