A good meeting with Prime Minister Rob Jetten @MinPres of the Netherlands. Thank you for the new military support package for Ukraine worth €500 million, which is being prepared right now – this fall. This is truly significant, especially when it comes to repelling Russian air attacks.
I also thank you for the announced €1.2 billion package of non-lethal support for Ukraine. It strengthens our resilience, and the funds will go toward energy support, infrastructure recovery, the social sector, and health care.
Rob and I discussed the situation in the diplomatic process in great detail. A lot is happening right now. In the context of preparations for the trilateral meeting planned in Abu Dhabi, we discussed what we can do together with our European partners to ensure that the position of all of us in Europe is really taken into account.
We are also working to see all political agreements followed by tangible economic results, creating economic growth and jobs in both Ukraine and the Netherlands. Thank you, Rob!

Landed in the Netherlands with my team for a meeting with Prime Minister Rob Jetten. We are strengthening our partnership and working to provide greater protection for Ukraine. We will discuss defense and economic cooperation, strengthening Ukrainian air defense, and new steps to support Ukraine. A meeting with representatives of Ukrainian and Dutch businesses is also scheduled for today. I will also have an audience with King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands.
I am grateful that the Netherlands supports Ukraine and stands up for the protection of lives. We are working together to strengthen our shared security.

The Black Sea has become another front of escalation of the Russian war in Ukraine.
This is unacceptable.
I strongly condemn the drone attacks on merchant ships near Bulgaria’s coast.
Putting the lives of the crew in grave danger and threatening security in the Black Sea.
We stand with Bulgaria and thank its rescuers for their swift response.
Those responsible should be held accountable.

The EU is further increasing pressure on Russia’s military-industrial complex with nearly 1,600 new sanctions listings. The largest expansion since the start of the war. The Netherlands continues to push for a new sanctions package targeting Russia’s war economy and shadow fleet.
Daan Huisinga retweeted
New EU sanctions target an additional 1569 individuals and entities belonging to Russia's military industry.
Those sanctioned supply key components to some of Russia's most advanced weapons systems, including missiles, drones and aircrafts.

Russian strikes killed over 80 Ukrainian civilians in two days. Moreover, it has stepped up its hybrid attacks against Europe, both EU Member States and NATO Allies.
Suspending sanctions on Russian diesel provides Moscow with more revenues to wage war.
This is not the time to ease pressure on Russia, and Europe won’t.
On Monday, EU Foreign Ministers intend to approve the biggest set of sanctions listings targeting Russia’s war machine since the start of the war.
On this day, 452 years ago the siege of Leiden was broken. A decisive step in the 80 year war of independence against Spain. Leiden was rewarded for its bravery with Netherlands’ first university. Today we celebrated 3 October in IST with the Dutch community and Leiden alumni.

“Hands off the ICC, and all those other institutions that protect the international legal order.”
Prime Minister Rob Jetten addressed the UN General Assembly on behalf of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. 🇺🇳

“Handen af van het ICC en alle andere instituties die de internationale rechtsorde beschermen.”
In mijn toespraak in de Algemene Vergadering van de Verenigde Naties benadrukte ik het belang van de internationale rechtsorde, in een tijd van grove schendingen van het internationaal recht.
Het is aan de middenmachten om het voortouw te nemen voor meer internationale samenwerking. Met als uitgangspunt dat het internationaal recht werkt voor iedereen, of voor niemand.
Ook sprak ik over de noodzaak van ambitieuze klimaatmaatregelen. De tijd van wegkijken is echt voorbij.

Very pleased with the visit to BSEC PERMIS of Mr. Daan Huisinga, Consul General of the Kingdom of the

IFC (@tvfifm) CEO Ahmet Erdem visited Consul General @DaanHuisinga at the Consulate General. The Netherlands is a longstanding major investor in Türkiye. The CG looks forward to cooperating with the Istanbul Financial Center to support an attractive setting for doing business.
12 years ago today, flight #MH17 was shot down over Eastern Ukraine. Everybody on board, including 196 🇳🇱 nationals, died.
Russia’s responsibility is beyond dispute, as established by @CourtMH17, @ECHR_CEDH and @icao.
Our thoughts are with the 298 victims and their loved ones.

I am grateful to the Netherlands for the defense package of €500 million. Namely €250 million for the PURL initiative that helps us protect Ukrainian sky and save lives, as well as another €250 million dedicated to drones that make a difference on the battlefield.
After the brutal Russian strikes against Ukraine, our cities, and our people, this support is especially timely and will help us.
Thank you, Netherlands!

Ukraine can continue to count on the Netherlands. I reaffirmed this in my conversation today with Ukrainian defence minister @FedorovMykhailo. With a new support package, the Netherlands is continuing to provide the Ukrainian people with tangible assistance in their fight for a safe, secure and free Ukraine. That is also very important for the rest of Europe. And as Ukraine’s recent successes have shown: this support is working.
It was good to welcome my Ukrainian counterpart @FedorovMykhailo to the Netherlands. We are providing an additional €500 million support package for drones and air defence systems. This will help Ukraine continue its fight against Putin. 🇳🇱🇺🇦

Keeping pressure on Russia matters. Today the EU adopted new sanctions targeting those responsible for Navalny’s poisoning, Russia’s military-industrial complex, shadow fleet and information manipulation. An important step to increase the cost of Russia’s aggression.

Türkiye is an important partner and NATO ally for both the Netherlands and the EU. We share close economic ties and work together closely on security and migration. Türkiye also acts a mediator on a number of major geopolitical conflicts, such as Ukraine and Gaza. I discussed these matters this afternoon with President @RTErdogan.
Of course, the war in Iran and the situation in the Strait of Hormuz also featured heavily in our discussion. Iran borders Türkiye, so this war is taking place on its doorstep. We also discussed stability in Syria and looked ahead to the upcoming NATO Summit in Ankara. I look forward to meeting President Erdoğan there.
