This year, new fighter jets will be in Ukrainian skies. This was stated on Friday by the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, in his video address to the nation, as quoted by “Ukrinform”.
“Today we are in Kharkiv. The visit of Mark Rutte, Prime Minister of the Netherlands. Together we visited our warriors – the boys are recovering from their wounds. I had the honor to thank them and present them with state awards. I am grateful to every doctor, to all our medical workers who save lives. This is the most honorable job. Together with Mark, we visited places in Kharkiv that were hit by Russian missiles. Ordinary residential buildings were destroyed, the infrastructure of the city… It is important to ensure greater security for Kharkiv. We are working with all leaders to strengthen air defenses both here and in other cities. The world has this potential and we need enough common determination to make Russian terror lose,” Zelensky said about the past day.
The Netherlands will not stop aid to Ukraine, assures Mark Rutte
It will continue after the formation of the new government
Today we have a new package of military support for our warriors from the Netherlands. The country actively helps us with air defense, with the F-16 coalition. This year new warplanes will be in our skies and we must make this year effective to defend against Russian guided bombs, Russian planes and their missiles.
We have signed a bilateral security agreement between our countries – security commitments, security cooperation. This is the seventh such security agreement with our partners, and it is a strong one. There is a certain amount of military support per year – 2 billion euros. It has all the details of our work together in defense, politics and justice. The Netherlands supports the creation of a special tribunal for Russian aggression, supports our work both in Ukraine and with partners to bring all Russian war criminals to justice, and supports strengthening sanctions against Russia for the war.
Ukraine and the Netherlands signed a 10-year security agreement
Mark Rutte made a surprise arrival in Kharkiv
We have already prepared active international work for March: there will be more support, we are preparing new security agreements, new arms agreements for our troops. The key is that Russia must lose, and our country must restore security together with our partners.
