The Netherlands said on Monday that it will contribute €500 million to purchase US military equipment to be sent to Ukraine, becoming the first NATO country to forge a new protocol to provide Kyiv with American weaponry after US President Donald Trump tightened crucial military aid following his re-election.
Last month, Trump announced that the US will continue to supply weapons to Ukraine, which would be paid for by Kyiv’s European allies, but did not provide information on how this new system was designed to operate.
