Netherlands Unveils €175 M Defence Package for Ukraine

€80 M earmarked for attack drones, remainder for counter-drone radars; Dutch cabinet calls aid “crucial” as Russia intensifies strikes

The Hague has green-lit €175 million in fresh military support for Kyiv, Dutch Defence Minister Ruben Brekelmans confirmed on day one of the NATO summit (24 June).

Allocation Purpose
€80 M Procurement of next-gen attack/ISR drones
c. €95 M Hundreds of radar units to spot & track incoming UAVs/missiles

“Ukrainian cities are under constant drone and missile fire. These systems are vital to blunt those attacks,” Brekelmans said.

Additional pledges

  • €7 M to Ukraine’s UCAP ammunition package.

  • €20 M to the Energy Support Fund for emergency grid repairs.

The new tranche follows a €209.5 M civilian-reconstruction package announced earlier, bringing Dutch aid commitments ever closer to the €1 billion mark in 2025.
