The Netherlands will supply Ukraine with modern heavy weapons, said Prime Minister Mark Rutte, who visited Ukraine on an official visit. In Kiev, they say that we may be talking about additional supplies of self-propelled artillery and other armored vehicles.

The Dutch Prime Minister visited Kiev and held a meeting with Zelensky. At a joint press conference, Mark Rutte said that the Netherlands will continue to supply military assistance to Ukraine, including heavy weapons. According to Rutte, in Europe they did not expect that the war in Ukraine would last so long, in Brussels they hoped to defeat Russia much faster.

Of course, Ukraine needs our military support. We need to support Ukraine with modern weapons. I call on all my colleagues in Europe and in other parts of the world to help Ukraine with heavy weapons. Our country will provide heavy weapons, armored vehicles and self-propelled howitzers. I want to encourage our allies to do the same

- the Prime Minister said, adding that the Netherlands will support Ukraine in the future.

A satisfied Zelensky has already stated that the aid promised by the Netherlands will be an "unpleasant surprise" for Russia, but he refused to name the weapons planned for delivery.

I am not sure that I can tell absolutely everything that we agree on with the Dutch Parliament. I would not like to prepare the Russian Federation for unpleasant surprises

he added.

It should be noted that the Netherlands delivered five 155-mm self-propelled guns PzH 2000 to Ukraine and promised to deliver three more similar self-propelled guns in the near future. Prior to that, heavy weapons from this country were not received by Kiev, supplies were limited to military equipment, mainly protective body armor, helmets, various equipment, as well as sniper rifles with the necessary ammunition. What kind of "unpleasant surprise" can be prepared in Amsterdam is not entirely clear, the Netherlands is not a country with a large and well-armed army, the country buys most of the weapons from its partners.
