The Netherlands has allocated €122M for defense, and Belgium will jointly produce weapons with Ukraine.

Despite the delay in aid from the EU and the US, other partners will continue to support Ukraine’s military potential. Here are the latest commitments:

  1. The Netherlands provides €122M. €87M will be allocated to purchase artillery shells, €25M for the International Fund for Ukraine (IFU) to buy weapons, and €10M for cyber defense.
  2. Belgium and Ukraine concluded a memorandum on joint production of several types of weapons, organization of repairs, and training of specialists and technical personnel.
  3. Germany calls on other countries to provide additional military support to Ukraine. After all, this year, the Bundestag has provided €7.4B, more than half of what was supplied by the rest of the EU states combined.
  4. The Secretary General of NATO made a similar appeal to the US Congress and the US Secretary of State that the cessation of the supply of American weapons to Ukraine has already affected events on the battlefield.
  5. In return, Hungary confirmed that it will not supply Ukraine with weapons.
  6. Luxembourg will lead the IT coalition and join the aviation coalition.
