During today's NATO meeting in Brussels, Dutch Defense Minister Kasja Ollongren announced that the Netherlands will transfer additional anti-aircraft missiles to Ukraine at a total cost of 15 million euros. She did not specify exactly how many missiles. They will be used in anti-aircraft and air defense units, which have been transferred to Ukraine by other countries, and will help to strengthen the protection of the sky.

Usually the Netherlands does not disclose information about the provision of military assistance to Ukraine. But this time they made an exception to demonstrate a response to Russia's massive attacks and shelling of Ukrainian cities.

"The only result Putin will achieve is that we will supply even more because of these kinds of attacks," Kasja Ollongren emphasized.

In addition, the Netherlands is considering donating equipment to Ukraine, which the Ukrainian army will be able to use in winter.
