The Netherlands has pledged $2.7bn to help Ukraine in 2023, with most of the money earmarked for military aid, Qazet.az reports.

“Nearly two billion is intended for military support”, the Dutch prime minister, Mark Rutte, told a press conference in the Hague on Friday.

Agence France-Presse reported him as saying the would go towards humanitarian aid, rebuilding infrastructure as well as ensuring accountability.
