The Netherlands will provide $325 million to support Ukraine’s recovery efforts in 2025 and 2026, with a significant portion directed toward rebuilding critical energy infrastructure.
Dutch Foreign Minister Caspar Veldkamp announced the commitment during the Ukraine Recovery Conference in Rome on July 10, highlighting the need to keep Ukraine’s economy and society resilient amid ongoing Russian aggression.
“Russia isn't just trying to bring Ukraine’s armed forces to their knees, but for more than three years has also been attempting to destroy Ukraine’s society and economy through continuous attacks, for instance on energy infrastructure, water supplies and grain storage facilities, as well as houses and apartments,” Veldkamp said.
Foreign Minister emphasized the importance of international support for Ukraine beyond military aid, highlighting the need for financial, economic, and social assistance.
He stressed that maintaining Ukraine’s economy and society is crucial to strengthening the country’s resilience, describing it as “another front line.” He also noted that such support is aimed at facilitating a smoother recovery process and helping to reduce reconstruction costs.
As part of the package, $56 million will go toward restoring energy systems and drinking water infrastructure in 2025. Another $32.5 million will support Dutch companies and organizations involved in Ukraine’s recovery and long-term development.
The new funding is part of the Netherlands’ broader €500 million pledge for non-military assistance to Ukraine, now entering the fourth year of Russia’s full-scale invasion.
Earlier, it was reported that the Netherlands pledged an additional $3.78 million to strengthen Ukraine’s capacity to investigate and prosecute Russian war crimes, underlining its commitment to legal and justice-based support.
