Zelenskyy to visit Netherlands Wednesday, Dutch government to allocate EUR 1.2 bln to Ukraine over 3 years – media

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is set to visit the Netherlands on Wednesday, where he will meet with Prime Minister Rob Jetten and King Willem-Alexander, according to Dutch media reports. The Dutch government plans to announce a EUR 1.2 billion non-military aid allocation to Ukraine over the next three years, as detailed by NOS.

During his visit, Zelenskyy is expected to hold discussions with Jetten at Catshuis in The Hague in the afternoon. Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defense Dilan Yesilgöz, as well as Minister of Foreign Affairs Tom Berendsen, will also participate in the negotiations. Following the meeting, Zelenskyy will engage with representatives of Dutch and Ukrainian businesses, and later visit King Willem-Alexander at Huis ten Bosch Palace in the early evening.

This marks Zelenskyy's first visit to Catshuis during Jetten's tenure as Prime Minister. His previous visit to the Netherlands took place in December of the previous year, while Dick Schoof was leading the government. In April, Zelenskyy and Jetten met in Middelburg, where the Ukrainian president was honored with the Four Freedoms Award.

The timing of the visit aligns with the Dutch government's announcement of new funds for Ukraine's reconstruction efforts. Over the course of three years, the Dutch government will allocate a total of EUR 1.2 billion in non-military aid to support Ukraine.
