The package is aimed at protecting and repairing energy infrastructure and includes additional funding for humanitarian aid.
We have to do everything we can to help Ukraine continue to move forward. Not only on the front line, but also in the everyday lives of people. That is why the Netherlands is providing a new significant support package, – Schoof said.
