The Netherlands will supply Ukraine with €500 million ($556 million) in military support this winter, Prime Minister Rob Jetten said on Wednesday afternoon. The funding follows a €1.2 billion non-military package announced earlier in the day for the next three years. The winter aid bolsters Ukrainian defenses as the country faces ongoing energy infrastructure repairs.
