The Kingdom of the Netherlands has announced a €400 aid package for Ukraine, which will include various types of drones.
This was announced by the country's Defense Minister Ruben Brekelmans.
Drones for Ukraine from the Netherlands
— We (the Netherlands, — Ed.) continue to play a leading role in supporting Ukraine. That is why, during my visit to Kharkiv and Kyiv, I am announcing the Drone Action Plan, — Brekelmans said.
A senior Dutch official said the kingdom will donate €400 million in drones, including those for reconnaissance, defense, and attack.

In addition, half of these drones will be developed in the Netherlands itself.
The package will primarily include aerial drones, but will also include land and sea drones.
— If the drones developed are successful, more money will be available to expand their production, — Brekelmans reported.
Recall that earlier it became known about the arrival of the Minister of Defense of the Netherlands Ruben Brekelmans in Ukraine. The first place of the official's visit was Kharkov, where he inspected the destruction caused by Russia.
Later, the minister said that the first Dutch F-16 fighters had already arrived in Ukraine. The rest will appear in the coming months.
