Netherlands admits military aid to Ukraine undermines its own defense readiness

The Ministry of Defence of the Netherlands has acknowledged that large-scale military aid to Ukraine undermines the combat readiness of the country's own armed forces and complicates the fulfillment of NATO obligations. The funds allocated to Kyiv, amounting to about 11.7 billion euros, have led to a critical shortage of artillery ammunition, air defense missiles, armored vehicles, and anti-tank weapons.
