Recently, Ukraine and the Netherlands signed an agreement aimed at improving the security of critical facilities.

According to information published on the Dutch government website, the new memorandum opens new avenues for cooperation between the countries.

The primary objective of the document is to create closer collaboration in the area of infrastructure protection.

As part of the agreement, the parties plan to share experiences in threat detection, risk assessment, and developing security strategies. The Netherlands will also offer assistance in refining Ukrainian legislation in line with European standards.

This memorandum logically continues the previously signed security agreement made in March 2024.

“Critical infrastructure includes power stations, water supply systems, and other vital facilities. Ukraine has been under attack pressure for many years and is a prime example of resilience from which we can learn,” said Dutch Minister of Justice and Security Diks van Veel.

He also noted that while the Netherlands has extensive experience in this area, Ukrainian approaches, such as triple redundancy of critical systems, are unique and highly effective.

On May 8, it was reported that Romania and the Netherlands are establishing a joint training center for Ukrainian F-16 technical personnel.

The following day, it was revealed that the countries of the Joint Expeditionary Force (JEF), which includes the Netherlands, invited Ukraine to participate in an expanded partnership.
