Netherlands provides 1 billion euros in artillery ammunition for Ukraine

The Netherlands has purchased over 1 billion euros of 155mm artillery ammunition for Ukraine. We also delivered 2 billion euros in support in the last quarter, including F-16s and drones.

This brings the total military support for Ukraine to nearly 6 billion euros in goods and (co)-financing. Minister Ruben Brekelmans announced this today during the 25th edition of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group, a meeting of over 50 countries supporting Ukraine in their fight against Russian aggression.

Keeping Russia at bay

Minister Brekelmans stated: This is a new milestone in our unwavering support for Ukraine. Ukraine urgently needs this to stop Russian aggression and gain the upper hand on the battlefield. Ukrainians are fighting not just for their own freedom and safety. They are also keeping Russia at a distance for the rest of Europe. Therefore, our support is essential and will continue.

As we reflect on 3 years of war in Ukraine, Defence publishes an updated overview of deliveries to Ukraine.
