“Ukraine urgently needs more military support against powerful Russian air attacks. Therefore, the Netherlands again allocates 250 million euros for supplies from American stocks (PURL): anti-aircraft defense equipment, ammunition for F-16, etc.,” he wrote on the social network Kh.
Breckelmans added that in “these crucial times” Ukraine can count on the support of the Netherlands.
The Nordic and Baltic countries announced a joint $500 million aid package last month.
On November 14, the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, said that the development of the PURL program, which provides for the purchase of American weapons for Ukraine, makes it possible to strengthen air defense systems and replenish them with missiles.
