Ukraine to receive €22 million for air defence and cyber resilience from Netherlands

The Netherlands will provide Ukraine with an additional €22 million for initiatives related to the development of cyber resilience and air defence systems.

"The Netherlands is allocating an additional €22 million to projects aimed at Ukraine's air defence and cyber resilience via NATO," Dutch Foreign Minister Caspar Veldkamp said on X (Twitter).

At a meeting of NATO foreign ministers in Brussels, Veldkamp called for continued support for Ukraine, given the strengthening of Russia's military machine, which receives assistance from third countries.

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said that Ukraine's request for a significant number of air defence systems to protect nuclear and other critical infrastructure was positively received by its alliance partners.

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha revealed the details of Ukraine's new request for air defence systems: they will be deployed at 19 sites to protect nuclear and other energy facilities.
