This was announced by Minister Ruben Brekelmans and State Secretary Gijs Tuinman. They were in Ukraine in recent days.
Russian aggression continues at high intensity. Dnipro was recently hit by a major drone attack, resulting in 4 deaths and approximately 20 injuries. Brekelmans and Tuinman visited a hit location the morning after the attack while the fire was still being extinguished. They saw the significant impact with their own eyes.
During a visit to the headquarters at the eastern front, the officials spoke with the commander of the army about the current situation at the front and the necessary support. The Ukrainians expressed a great need for drones, air defense, and artillery. The priorities of the Netherlands align well with this.
