The Netherlands will supply Ukraine with additional F-16 fighter jet ammunition valued at 300 million euros, the Dutch government announced on Wednesday. This enhances Ukraine's defense capabilities against ongoing conflicts.

This new Dutch commitment adds to the 150 million euros worth of F-16 ammunition already pledged. ($1 = 0.9241 EUR)
