As reported by a Ukrinform correspondent in The Hague, this is mentioned in the text of the coalition agreement.
As part of the new Dutch coalition government, led by the liberal party D66, a plan has been set out for substantial military support to Ukraine: more than €3 billion for the period 2027–2029.
According to a Ukrinform correspondent in The Hague, the relevant provision is mentioned in the text of the coalition agreement.
According to the document, about three billion euros will go to military aid over the three-year period, and approximately €400 million will be directed to other areas of support.
“The war in Ukraine is a matter of security for all of Europe. We will continue to provide military and financial support to Ukraine for several years and will insist on the use of frozen Russian assets. Ukraine is moving along an irreversible path toward membership in the EU and NATO, where the speed of accession will be determined by its own merits and adherence to the criteria. The Netherlands provides support where possible.”

Key Provisions and Prospects for Support
Additionally, the document mentions a potential additional financial contribution of €23 million for Ukraine’s energy sector, while non-military aid will be financed from the budget allocated for foreign trade and development assistance. At the same time, military support will be overseen by the Ministry of Defense.
According to Hubert Smeets, a Dutch journalist and political scientist, the formation of a minority government will not change the overall course of support for Ukraine, but may affect the situation of Ukrainian refugees in the country.
Changes in funding priorities and sustained support for Ukraine remain relevant for the years ahead.
