Today, Mark Rutte and I signed a bilateral security agreement between Ukraine and the Netherlands.
The document includes €2 billion in military aid from the Netherlands this year, as well as further defense assistance over the next ten years.
It also prioritizes the provision of air defense, artillery, sea, and long-range capabilities, with a particular emphasis on strengthening Ukraine's air force.
The agreement formalizes the Netherlands' principled position on strengthening sanctions against Russia, making it compensate for damages, and holding the aggressor accountable.
According to the document, the Netherlands also supports Ukraine's future membership in the EU and NATO.
I am grateful to Prime Minister Rutte for this agreement, which will strengthen the protection of Ukraine, including the city of Kharkiv, where we met today.
