Netherlands, together with Belgium, to provide Ukraine with two minesweepers – Dutch Defense Minister
KYIV. March 14 (Interfax-Ukraine) – In 2025, the Netherlands, together with Belgium, will provide Ukraine with two Alkmaar-class minesweepers, the Defense of the Kingdom of the Netherlands Kajsa Ollongren said.
“The Netherlands will provide two mine-class minesweeper Alkmaar, and we will start training Ukrainian units so that they know how to use the ships. This will be done with Belgium and other allies. The ships will be ready for use in 2025,” she told a briefing at the Ukraine-Odesa media center on Tuesday.
