Netherlands to spend $94 million on artillery shells for Ukraine
The Netherlands
has decided to allocate EUR 122 million ($132 million) towards further security
assistance to Ukraine, the Dutch government announced on Jan. 29.
Specifically, EUR 87 million ($94 million) are earmarked for the purchase of artillery shells for Ukraine. The Netherlands will also transfer EUR 25 million ($27 million) to the International Fund for Ukraine for weapon procurement.
Finally, the government will also allocate another EUR 10 million to enhance Ukraine's cybersecurity.
On Dec. 28, 2023, the commander of the Royal Netherlands Army, Gen. Martin Wijnen, said that Europe needs to prepare for a possible war with Russia.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
