On Monday morning, February 24, alongside the Dutch and European flags, the Ukrainian flag was hoisted at the House of Representatives building. This act commemorates the Russian invasion of Ukraine three years ago.
The hoisting of the flag was initiated by Member of Parliament Hanneke van der Werf (D66) as a signal of solidarity. She submitted a motion for this purpose.
