The Dutch government announced on the 8th that 700 million euros of this year's budget balance will be used to provide military aid to Ukraine. On the 2nd of this month, the Dutch House of Representatives passed a motion requiring the Dutch government to increase its budget of 2 billion euros next year to support Ukraine. On the 8th, the Dutch Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Defense, and Ministry of Foreign Affairs jointly informed Parliament about the implementation of the motion and decided to disburse 500 million euro defense budget balance and 200 million euro diplomatic budget balance to Ukraine in advance. The remaining amount will be discussed and settled at the beginning of next year. The Dutch government said that the amount of military aid to Ukraine is huge, and the required funds should be shared fairly among EU member states. The Dutch financial situation will be quite tight next year, and it is difficult to continue to provide military aid to Ukraine. It is necessary to use Russia's frozen assets in Europe under appropriate conditions in the short term.
