The President thanked His Majesty and the Netherlands for being one of Ukraine’s closest and most reliable partners. The President emphasized that we value all the assistance provided. It is important that we can be confident that support for our people will continue.

During the meeting, the participants defined key priorities and decisions that can strengthen practical economic cooperation. They discussed defense production, joint technology and energy projects, and industrial development. Particular attention was paid to the development of satellite technologies and air defense.

In The Hague, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with Prime Minister of the Netherlands Rob Jetten.

I want to thank you for the new package that Rob just mentioned. It is very important for us, especially at this time of massive attacks on our energy system – the new military support package for us worth €500 million, which is being prepared right now – this fall.

Today, I received a briefing from Mykhailo Drapatyi, Ihor Obolenskyi, and Pavlo Palisa on yet another active operation of ours – Operation Veles, which Khartiia is carrying out in the Kupiansk sector. A strong operation, in my view, sophisticated and technologically advanced.

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy accepted the letters of credence from the newly appointed ambassadors of foreign countries: Canada’s Tamara Ann Mawhinney, Spain’s Adela Díaz Bernárdez, Switzerland’s Heidi Grau, Egypt’s Ahmed Salama Mohamed Elhamshary, and Türkiye’s Fatma Ceren Yazgan.

“I am grateful for the detailed briefing and for their active support for our diplomacy and the peace efforts we are pursuing together with all our partners. Alex and Jonas made it clear to the Russian leader that real de-escalatory steps are needed regarding our energy and infrastructure,” the Head of State noted.
