Ukrainian Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov stated that Ukraine is receiving both Patriot air defense systems and significant support in the field of unmanned technology from the Netherlands.
According to a Ukrinform correspondent in The Hague, he made these remarks during a joint press conference with Dutch Defense Minister Dilan Yeşilgöz-Zegerius in The Hague.
“If we compare the quality of support from your country with that of the rest of the world and, more specifically, with other European countries, the level of support is very high... We see this because we have received both Patriot systems and PURL contributions in recent years, and the Netherlands has supported a very effective drone program,” he said.
Fedorov also expressed gratitude for the additional funding for air defense systems announced by the Netherlands. He emphasized that Russia is increasingly compensating for its failures on the front lines with massive missile strikes on civilian targets in Ukraine.
According to him, Putin cannot achieve his goals on the battlefield, which is why he is attacking Ukrainian cities with ballistic and cruise missiles. During the latest attacks, civilian homes, infrastructure facilities, and the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra were damaged.
