Belgium and the Netherlands donate first mine hunters to Ukraine
The Belgian mine hunter BNS Narcis and the Dutch Zr.Ms. Vlaardingen have recently been transferred to Ukraine during a ceremony at the Belgian naval base Zeebrugge. This is now being communicated due to operational security considerations. The mine hunters are entering a new chapter, under a new flag, with a new mission, said Minister Ruben Brekelmans.
