Ukraine and the Netherlands signed a bilateral security agreement, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in a Telegram post on Friday.

The document includes 2 billion euros in military aid from the Netherlands this year, as well as further defense aid over the next 10 years, Zelenskyy said.

The Netherlands will donate an additional 150 million euros ($162 million) to a Czech initiative to buy ammunition for Ukraine from countries around the world, Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte announced during a visit to Ukraine on Friday.

The additional pledge takes the total sum the Netherlands will donate to the initiative to 250 million euros.
