    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    AMSTERDAM, Nov 17 (Reuters) - The Dutch government has earmarked an additional 2 billion euros ($2.2 billion) in military aid for Ukraine in 2024, in what Defence Minister Kajsa Ollongren on Friday said was a sign of unwavering support for Kyiv’s war against Russia.

    It is part of a wider package the Netherlands will provide to Ukraine next year that includes an initial 102 million euros for reconstruction and humanitarian aid that will be increased during the year if needed.

    The latest package takes the total amount of Dutch support for Ukraine during the conflict to around 7.5 billion euros, Ollongren said.

    “What’s most critical for me is that we’ll be providing an additional 2 billion euros in military aid next year,” Ollongren told Reuters.

    Support will be provided based on Kyiv’s needs, Ollongren said, and may include advanced drone capabilities.

    Air defence, ammunition and air force support will remain a priority after the Dutch, Danish and other NATO allies established an F-16 training centre for Ukrainian pilots.
