The Dutch government announced on Wednesday that it will provide Ukraine with €1.2 billion, equivalent to approximately $1.3 billion, in non-military support over the next three years. The financial commitment was made public just hours before Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy arrived in the Netherlands for a series of high-level diplomatic engagements.
According to the office of Dutch Prime Minister Rob Jetten, Zelenskiy is scheduled to arrive in The Hague on Wednesday afternoon. His itinerary includes formal meetings with Prime Minister Jetten and other key cabinet members, followed by an audience with Dutch King Willem-Alexander.
The newly announced funding package is structured across multiple calendar years to provide sustained financial assistance. Specifically, the Dutch government has allocated €380 million to directly support reconstruction efforts in Ukraine next year. This will be followed by approximately €410 million in both 2028 and 2029.
Authorities in the Netherlands detailed that a portion of the funds will be channeled into specialized financial vehicles designed to support Dutch companies that are willing to invest in the rebuilding of Ukraine’s economy and infrastructure. In addition to commercial investment incentives, substantial portions of the aid package are earmarked for urgent repairs to Ukraine’s damaged energy grid and infrastructure, as well as the procurement and delivery of essential industrial machinery for Ukrainian enterprises. The financial conversion rate used for the announcement calculates one U.S. dollar at 0.8993 euros.
