Tomorrow it will be four years to the day since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Ukraine is fighting every day for its freedom. And the war in Ukraine is about the security of Europe as a whole. On my first day as prime minister I called President @ZelenskyyUa to assure him that Ukraine can count on the Netherlands’ undiminished support. 🇳🇱🤝🇺🇦

Today marks four years of Ukrainian resistance against Russia's war of aggression. A fight for freedom and for our security in Europe. Strong support is more crucial than ever. As is maximum pressure on Russia. To our Ukrainian friends I say: we will remain firmly by your side.
