Over the past six weeks, the Dutch commitment to Ukraine has climbed to a total of 1.07 billion euros in military aid. The figures come from a letter sent to the Dutch House of Representatives by the country’s Defense Minister, Kaisa Ollongren, detailing the expenditures and allocations tied to support for Ukraine.
According to the document, as of January 24, the cumulative cost of military aid stood at roughly 1.07 billion euros. The letter specifies that about 463.8 million euros of this amount were allocated for military equipment and gear provided by the Netherlands to Ukraine.
Earlier, in a report published on December 16, 2022, Ollongren had indicated that the total value of military aid to Ukraine reached 987 million euros. The new figures reflect continued disbursements and additions to the Dutch aid package since that earlier update.
In related international developments, media outlets have reported that discussions among the United States and European Union member states considered the possible delivery of F-16 fighter aircraft to Ukraine through arrangements involving Denmark and the Netherlands. While these conversations have been reported by major outlets and cited authorities, official confirmations and the specifics of any approval remain the subject of ongoing reporting and parliamentary scrutiny. The broader context shows how allied collaborations and equipment transfers are evolving as part of a coordinated response to the conflict in Ukraine.
