According to Zelensky, the agreement provides for the Netherlands to provide 2 billion euros in military aid in 2024 and further defense aid over the next ten years.

The document defines the priorities of providing assistance in the field of air defense, artillery, naval and long-range means, with a special emphasis on strengthening the Air Force, the head of state added.

"The agreement formalizes the principled position of the Netherlands on strengthening sanctions against Russia, forcing it to compensate for damages and bring the aggressor to justice. According to the document, the Netherlands also supports Ukraine's future membership in the EU and NATO," Zelenskyy wrote on social media.

The document also defines the mechanism of a 24-hour emergency response in case of repeated military aggression against Ukraine.

The signing of the agreement was announced last week by the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands Hanke Brains Sloot. At the time, she said that the agreement would send a powerful signal to Russia, which hopes that Western support for Ukraine will eventually end.

We would like to remind you that today Ukraine, in addition to the Netherlands, has already signed security agreements with Great Britain, Germany, France, Denmark, as well as Italy and Canada.
