The Netherlands allocated €80 million in additional aid for Ukraine to overcome the consequences of the war and begin the reconstruction of the country. Danylo Hetmantsev, the head of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on finance, tax and customs policy, reported about it on his Telegram-channel, commenting on the results of the Minister of Foreign Trade of the Netherlands Lissier Schreinemacher and Minister of Defense Kaysi Ollongren‘ visit to Ukraine.
The parliamentarian outlined the directions for the funds allocation:
According to Danylo Hetmantsev, the Netherlands has announced directions for further military support of Ukraine, which has already amounted to €210 million since the beginning of the war.
“I would also like to note that since the beginning of the armed aggression, the Netherlands has provided about €100 million to finance the state budget, which is the fifth result in terms of volume among European countries (after Germany, the UK, France, Italy),” the deputy wrote.
As GMK Center reported earlier, in the middle of the year, international partners have transferred $7.4 billion to Ukraine to cover the state budget deficit, and the total amount of declared financial aid to Ukraine as of mid-June was $30 billion. Up to a third of them are non-refundable grants.
According to the NBU, about two-thirds of the expected international assistance is soft loans from partner countries and international financial organizations. Although they are provided for a long time and at low interest rates, such loans carry currency risks in the future, according to the National Bank.
