Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Andrii Sybiha: "Pleased to continue our consistent dialogue and close coordination with my Dutch colleague Tom Berendsen ahead of today’s debate in the Dutch Parliament on Ukraine.
I thanked the Netherlands for its leadership and steadfast support, including in defence, sanctions, and accountability.
As Russia continues its daily terror attacks against Ukraine, we focused on ways to strengthen Ukraine’s resilience and defence capabilities.
Air defence remains our absolute priority to protect civilians and critical infrastructure. The Netherlands’ support through the NATO PURL initiative is an important contribution to our security.
I also underlined the importance of further increasing pressure on Russia and advancing support for Ukraine, including by unblocking the €90 billion EU loan.
We discussed global security and recent developments in the Middle East.
Grateful to the Netherlands for maintaining a strong focus on supporting Ukraine and restoring our shared European security."
