Zelenskiy was expected in the Netherlands on Wednesday afternoon for meetings with Dutch Prime Minister Rob Jetten and other cabinet members, followed by a visit to King Willem-Alexander, according to Jetten’s office.

What the money covers

The government said 380 million euros will go to reconstruction in Ukraine next year, with about 410 million euros in each of 2028 and 2029.

Other support is set for urgent repairs to Ukraine’s energy infrastructure and the supply of machines to Ukrainian industry.
