The Netherlands to provide Ukraine with boats and landing craft
Amsterdam has also allocated ˆ250 million for the Czech initiative on urgent production of shells
The Dutch Ministry of Defence has announced that the country will supply Ukraine with patrol boats and amphibious assault ships. The Netherlands has also allocated €250 million to a Czech initiative to urgently order a large number of artillery shells for Ukraine in the short term.
The delivery includes 14 rigid-hull inflatable boats (RHIBs), 8 paramilitary river patrol boats and CB90 landing craft. Some of these boats will be supplied from the Ministry of Defence's own inventory, while others will be sourced from industry, the statement said.
Since the beginning of December 2023, the Netherlands has supplied various types of ammunition, radar systems and individual weapons such as rifles and machine guns. Field hospitals, tents and accessories, generators and numerous medical supplies have also been sent to Ukraine.
In addition, last Monday evening it was announced that the Netherlands will supply more than €100 million worth of ammunition.
In addition to the Netherlands' continued support in the long term, more ammunition is a top priority for Ukraine.
Background. As reported, the 10-year security agreement with Ukraine was officially signed by Prime Minister Mark Rutte and President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The agreement focuses on security cooperation, including military support in the medium and long term.
