President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with King Willem-Alexander
of the Netherlands
on April 16 and thanked the monarch for his “personal support” of Ukraine and
its people during more than four years of war.
In a statement on the presidential website, Zelenskyy said that in the early hours of April 16 Russia carried out a brutal, large-scale strike on Ukraine that killed people in Odesa, Kyiv, and Dnipro and left more than 100 others wounded across the country.
He urged that countries continue to support Ukraine “by all possible means” and do everything necessary to stop the killings and secure a just peace.
“Ukraine will always be grateful to the Netherlands and the Dutch people for their support and significant contribution to protecting lives,” the message said.
Earlier the same day, Dutch Prime Minister Rob Jetten told a
joint news conference with Zelenskyy that the Netherlands will invest EUR482
million ($568 million) in Ukraine’s defense industry under a newly signed
partnership agreement.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
