The funds allocated by the Netherlands will go to humanitarian aid, health care, housing and infrastructure reconstruction.
The authorities of the Netherlands on Monday, April 3, announced the allocation of the first comprehensive aid package to Ukraine this year for a total of 274 million euros. This was announced by the Minister of Foreign Trade and Development Cooperation, Lishe Schreinemacher, writes Telegraaf.nl.
It was noted that approximately 180 million euros will be directed to humanitarian assistance, health care, energy supply, rehabilitation of housing and infrastructure, and demining of agricultural land.
Another 94 million euros will go to non-lethal aid, strengthening cooperation between Ukraine and NATO, as well as protecting and preserving Ukrainian culture.
This aid package is from the 2.5 billion euros allocated by the Dutch government to support Ukraine in 2023.
Schreinemacher also appointed former diplomat Ron van Dartel as a special envoy to more actively engage the Dutch business community in the reconstruction of Ukraine.
Its main task is to establish contacts between companies in the Netherlands and the Ukrainian authorities, identify the specific needs of Ukraine and find areas where the experience and knowledge of the Netherlands can be useful .
It was previously reported that the Netherlands will send another 60 instructors to Germany to train the Ukrainian military.
Recently, the police of the Kyiv region received 11 service dogs, which completed training in the Netherlands.
