In March 2024, an agreement was signed in Kharkiv for cooperation in the field of security, providing for support to Ukraine over ten years.
The agreement provided for the supply of €2 billion of military aid to Ukraine by the Netherlands in 2024 and for further defence aid during the next decade.
The document defines the priorities of aid supply in the sectors of air defence, artillery, naval and long-range weapons, with a focus on strengthening the Ukrainian Air Force.
The document has expanded blocks on sanctions, compensation for damages and bringing the aggressor state to justice.
The agreement clearly reaffirms the Netherlands' support for Ukraine's future membership in the EU and NATO.
The document also defines a 24-hour emergency response mechanism in the event of repeated military aggression against Ukraine.
Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte came on March 1 to Kharkiv to sign a 10-year agreement on security cooperation between Ukraine and the Netherlands.
