Ukraine and the Netherlands launch joint air defence project
Published
Ukraine and the Netherlands have already begun work on a joint air defence project called Bliksem. President Volodymyr Zelensky announced this during a press conference together with the Prime Minister of the Netherlands.
According to the Prime Minister of the Netherlands, missiles are needed to protect Ukraine's skies, and they are being sought all over the world. This issue is important, as Ukraine needs missiles for air defence systems to protect cities, energy facilities and civilians from air attacks.
The Bliksem project is part of a broader defence cooperation between the two countries. The Netherlands has long supported Ukraine, including financially and with military aid. Detailed information about the implementation timeline and the amount of funding has not yet been announced.
Thus, joint work on the air defence system is ongoing, and its results may matter for the safety of Ukraine's skies in the near future.
