Koretsky explained where the 1.2 billion euros in aid from the Netherlands will go
The Dutch government announced a new package of civilian and economic aid for Ukraine totaling 1.2 billion euros, covering the period from 2027 to 2029. This was announced on October 28 by Ukrainian Prime Minister Serhiy Koretskyi following a meeting with Shurd Shurdma, the Dutch Minister for Foreign Trade and Development Cooperation.
The allocated funds will be directed toward the restoration and physical protection of critical infrastructure—including energy and water supply systems—the provision of backup equipment and spare parts, and support for the private sector.
During the talks, the parties discussed expanding Dutch business investments in Ukraine’s agricultural sector, IT, and energy equipment manufacturing, as well as launching a mechanism for insuring against war risks. In addition, the Ministry of Economy of Ukraine and its Dutch counterpart are preparing to sign a declaration on deepening industrial cooperation and developing an “Industrial Ramstein.”
