The Dutch Parliament supports the deployment of HNLMS Karel Doorman to the Red Sea where our joint logistic support ship will join EUNAVFOR ASPIDES. With this contribution, the Netherlands stands firm to protect maritime security along this important trade route.
Weerbaarheid is van ons allemaal. Van de keukentafel tot aan de formatietafel. Juist om vrede te beschermen, is voorbereiding nodig. Daar vraagt de wereld van vandaag ook om. Hierover sprak ik bij de conferentie Defensie en samenleving georganiseerd door Ministerie van Defensie.
HNLMS Karel Doorman has just left Den Helder bound for the Red Sea. There, the ship will take part in EU operation EUNAVFOR ASPIDES securing safe passage by protecting vessels against Houthi attacks. I wish the crew fair winds and following seas & thank their loved ones at home.
Good news from the US, where the House has approved a new, comprehensive military aid package for Ukraine, against Putin's aggression.
Ukraine must be able to rely on its partners. For as long as necessary. For their freedom and our security.

The Netherlands will provide over €200 million of additional military support to Ukraine for air defence and artillery ammunition.
I announced this today at a meeting between NATO defence ministers, Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський and Jens Stoltenberg.
We have no time to lose.
