The Dutch government has included continued support for Ukraine in its coalition agreement, recognizing that modern warfare includes both physical and cyber attacks. The MoU is an important follow-up to the bilateral security agreement the Netherlands has with Ukraine and expression of our broad and intensive cooperation.

«We sincerely appreciate the Netherlands' unwavering support during these difficult times. Their partnership reflects a deep commitment to Ukraine and strengthens our country’s cyber resilience», – said Serhii Demediuk.
