Dutch Foreign Trade Minister Geoffrey van Leeuwen speaks with the Kyiv Independent in Kyiv, Ukraine, on Dec. 15, 2023.
The Kyiv Independent: The Dutch defense minister said that over half a billion was allocated to defense spending for Ukraine.
So I'm confident that whatever government we're getting, there will be a huge support for continuing our policy of supporting Ukraine.
Does this imply that Dutch opinion is changing, or is there a different reason for his success?.
Geoffrey van Leeuwen: I don't want to comment too much about Dutch politics back in The Hague. »
