What is known about ships from the Netherlands?

Thus, a new maritime assistance package from the Netherlands worth 400 million euros will include more than 100 ships, patrol boats, transport boats, interceptors, and special operations ships.

“That is, a wide range of over 100 vessels,” Brekelmans clarified.

It will also include more than 50 naval drones, weapons systems, sensors, spare parts, and training for Ukrainian specialists.

“This is a complete package to strengthen Ukraine’s maritime security. This is very important, because we see that Russian threats, both in the Black Sea and around Kherson, are growing. It is very important for Ukraine to protect itself from this,” the head of the Dutch Ministry of Defense said.

He noted that the Netherlands seeks to support Ukraine in ensuring freedom of navigation and maintaining safe trade sea routes.

It should be noted that Russia poses a danger not only in the Black Sea. In the Gulf of Finland, the aggressor country has begun providing military escort for tankers of its shadow fleet.
