The Netherlands has temporarily relocated its embassy in Ukraine from Kyiv to Lviv for security reasons.

That's according to the website of the Dutch Foreign Ministry, Ukrinform reports.

Such a decision was made on Sunday, February 20.

According to the report, "the Dutch embassy has temporarily relocated all of its operations from the capital Kyiv to Lviv for security reasons."

The Dutch Foreign Ministry said it was very concerned about the situation in Ukraine.

Earlier, a number of Western countries, including the United Kingdom and the United States, also relocated their diplomats to Lviv.

On February 18, the Netherlands decided to supply military goods to Ukraine due to the threat of a new Russian invasion.

In particular, the issue concerns sniper rifles, helmets, body armor, radars and metal detectors.
