Dutch Prime Minister Rob Jetten said he discussed the latest developments in the war with Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelenski. Jetten claimed that Russia, in addition to its air attacks on Kyiv, is targeting civilian sites and energy infrastructure.

Jetten said Russia aims to make Ukrainian cities uninhabitable and weaken the country’s economy throughout the winter, adding, “We must not allow this.”

Emphasizing that strengthening Ukraine’s air defense is vital, Jetten said, “Ukraine’s F-16 fleet needs more maintenance, spare parts and ammunition. I have committed that the Netherlands will help Ukraine with this.”

Jetten said the Netherlands would continue supporting Ukraine together with its international partners, adding that they are also closely monitoring Russia’s provocations toward other countries.
