Netherlands earmarks €2. 5 billion dollars for support to Ukraine in 2023

In the arriving year Ukraine will always need considerable international assistance. Russia’s war in Ukraine is still ongoing, and has changed into a war of attrition. Ukraine’s armed forces continue fighting every day for the freedom, safety and prosperity of their nation, and thus for that of Europe as a whole. The Dutch government’s decision to earmark funding now sends a clear message of undiminished solidarity using the people of Ukraine, who can count on predictable Dutch support for as long as it takes.

In 2023 the Netherlands can make €2. 5 billion offered to support Ukraine. The government expects that this amount will be necessary to provide military aid, assistance essential repair and reconstruction activities and contribute economically to efforts to battle impunity. The Dutch Cupboard approved the proposal by ministers Liesje Schreinemacher (Foreign Trade and Development Cooperation), Wopke Hoekstra (Foreign Affairs), Kajsa Ollongren (Defence) plus Sigrid Kaag (Finance). The precise allocation of the contribution is determined by the needs of the Ukrainian people, and therefore how the war unfolds in the coming period.

Holland is committed to coordinating and collaborating with other countries and the defence industry. This should enhance the effectiveness of arms shipments for Ukraine’s armed forces whilst limiting the impact on our own. The aid for important reconstruction activities is intended to get infrastructure repairs (especially energy infrastructure), hospitals, housing, farming and demining. The government is also providing humanitarian aid and support for the rule associated with law, human rights plus accountability. The amount set aside pertaining to Ukraine is on top of the particular liquidity support totalling €18 billion being channelled via the EU and the cost of refugee reception in the Netherlands.
