The Netherlands announced a new support package for Ukraine in the amount of €209.5 million, which will be aimed at restoring critical infrastructure.

This was stated by the Dutch Minister of Foreign Affairs, Caspar Veldkamp, on his official account on X (formerly Twitter).

According to Veldkamp, it will be aimed at restoring critical infrastructure, including through the EBRD , and providing humanitarian aid.

Additionally, the Netherlands will contribute €45 million to the Energy Support Fund of Ukraine and finance the supply of the necessary equipment.

“As we gather in New York, Ukrainians are bracing for one of their toughest winters yet. For Ukraine to endure, it needs energy,” Veldkamp wrote. “At today's meeting with G7 Foreign Ministers and partners, including Ukraine's [Minister of Foreign Affairs] Andrii Sybiha, I stressed that we must join forces to provide this.”
