President Volodymyr Zelensky held a phone call with the Prime Minister of the Netherlands, Mark Rutte, to discuss the inaugural Peace Summit and further defense cooperation.

Zelensky reported this via X, Ukrinform reports.

The head of state informed Rutte about yet another Russian shelling of Ukrainian cities, communities, and energy facilities.

"I thanked the Netherlands for its active efforts to find additional air defense systems for Ukraine, particularly for Kharkiv, which the Prime Minister personally visited and where we signed our bilateral security agreement. I also thanked the Netherlands for additional €1 billion in military aid for Ukraine," the president noted.
