Netherlands to provide Ukraine with €1.2 billion
On the day of Zelenskyy’s visit, the Dutch government announced €1.2 billion in non-military support for Ukraine over the next three years.
According to Reuters, €380 million is expected to be allocated for Ukraine’s reconstruction in 2027, with around €410 million to follow in both 2028 and 2029.
Part of the funding will be used to support Dutch companies willing to invest in Ukraine’s reconstruction. Other funds will go toward urgent repairs to energy infrastructure and the supply of equipment for Ukrainian industry.
The government also plans to transfer €40 million to the Ukraine Energy Support Fund this year, while another €55 million will be allocated for the purchase of equipment and components from Dutch companies to help keep Ukraine’s energy system operating.
A further €136 million is earmarked for companies involved in Ukraine’s reconstruction.
