For Ukraine’s Independence Day, we asked displaced Ukrainians in the Netherlands what independence means to them.
Their words remind us that independence cannot be taken for granted. That is why we continue to #StandWithUkraine - for Ukraine's future, freedom and our security.🇺🇦
🇺🇦 Today, we celebrate Ukraine’s Independence Day.
We honor the courage and resilience of the Ukrainian people, and pay tribute to their perseverance and strength in the face of Russia’s aggression.
The Netherlands remains firm in support of a free and independent Ukraine.
We are proud to be partnering with Freedom Festival Hull again. All works, from spectacular acrobatics to small scale immersive experiences, have been selected because they "promises to spark conversations while creating space for unity and hope."

On August 15th 1945 the Second World War officially ended for the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The scars remain, also in Asia.
Today, we remember and honour the victims of this war from the former Dutch Indies - in the Netherlands and worldwide.

From today to 8 August, Amsterdam will host WorldPride for the first time. Pride celebrates the freedom to be yourself and love who you love. This is a fundamental human right. NL stands for equality, inclusion and a world where everyone can live openly, safely and with dignity.

I had a good conversation with the new British Prime Minister @Andyburnham. The friendship between the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, as North Sea neighbours, is very strong: from trade and AI to the energy transition, and from human rights to our security and defence.
We both recognise the ongoing need to support Ukraine and the leading role the UK plays in the Coalition of the Willing. The Netherlands will also help to strengthen ties between the UK and the EU.
As NATO partners, the UK and the Netherlands are investing in (joint) defence projects and together we are preparing a mission to guarantee freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, when circumstances permit.
I look forward to continuing our cooperation with Andy Burnham. We will meet soon in London or The Hague.
