/tass/. The Netherlands has so far provided military assistance to Ukraine for €1.6 billion. This was announced on Wednesday in a report to parliament by the head of the country's Defense Ministry, Kaisa Ollongren.

"The total amount of military assistance provided to Ukraine now amounts to about €1.6 billion," the document says. - The book value of the delivered equipment and machinery is €732 million. The total amount also includes commercial purchases and contributions to various funds, military and humanitarian."

According to the Minister, since April 13, when the last such report was sent, new batches of military products have been delivered to Ukraine. "This includes air defense systems, ammunition, night vision devices, trucks and equipment such as cranes and excavators," Ollongren said.

In addition, the head of the Dutch Defense Ministry confirmed information that the country is working on a plan to train Ukrainian pilots to fly F-16 fighters as soon as possible. "This project is being implemented with Denmark, Belgium and the UK," she said. - It is expected that other countries will join it. In addition, industry will play an important role in this process."

"Supplies from operational stocks affect our own readiness, but are considered acceptable in the current circumstances," Kaisa Ollongren added. - Continued military support also has an impact on delays in procurement projects. The Ministry of Defense is taking measures to limit these consequences, for example, by accelerating the purchase of replacement equipment and strengthening the procurement system and project implementation."

Earlier, the Dutch authorities reported that in 2022 they spent about € 1 billion on providing military assistance to Ukraine. For 2023, the Government of the country has allocated €2.5 billion for humanitarian and military support of the Ukrainian side, repair and restoration of infrastructure, diplomatic support, as well as assistance in bringing to justice those guilty, according to the West, of war crimes.
