Netherlands Sending 200 Stinger Missiles To Ukraine; More Military Aid En Route by Igbofam: 11:06am On Feb 26, 2022
The Netherlands will deliver 200 Stinger anti-aircraft missiles to Ukraine as soon as possible, the Cabinet said on Saturday. The decision comes after additional requests from Ukraine for military goods. For this request, a careful, but shortened, assessment against the arms export criteria took place, according to a letter sent by Foreign Affairs Minister Wopke Hoekstra and Defense Minister Kajsa Ollongren to the Tweede Kamer.

In addition to the 200 Stinger missiles, the Netherlands already dispatched the military equipment it committed to providing "for Ukrainian self-defense against an armed attack by Russia," Hoekstra said. Some of that material was already sent, with more to be dispatched as soon as possible.

The cybersecurity assistance the Netherlands planned to provide earlier this week was delayed due to the Russian invasion. The government is still working with Ukrainian authorities to investigate how Dutch cyberdefense teams can be deployed to assist, Hoekstra said.

On Friday, military equipment was on its way from the Netherlands to Ukraine, Ollongren said on the television program Jinek.

The Cabinet previously announced it would supply 100 sniper rifles with associated ammunition, five weapon location radars, two battlefield surveillance radars, metal detectors and two wire-guided detection robots to detect naval mines. It would also send 3,000 combat helmets and 2,000 fragmentation vests, according to the Ministry of Defense.

The delivery was slightly delayed due to Russia’s complete invasion of Ukraine. "We had a different logistical plan, but the attack by the Russians changed that," Ollongren said.

During a telephone conversation with Prime Minister Mark Rutte, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky asked for even more military aid on Friday. The Ministry of Defense was already looking into the request that day, Ollongren said. “We’re going to do our very best to help,” she said.

The Netherlands is also looking into how humanitarian and financial aid can be given to Zelensky's government. More clarity on this should be provided in the coming days.

Dutch fighter jets sent to patrol NATO airspace in Eastern Europe had already completed their first full day Friday, according to the Ministry of Defense.

Like they weren't there before. America has been moving weapons into Ukraine since 2014. Propaganda everywhere till the tanks roll inside of Kiev. Just 24hrs they were already outside the outskirt. People commenting here are kiddies experiencing their first war. American imperialism on life support and will be crushed

My dear you are clearly deluded. Even Russian soldiers are saying Ukraine is winning because many of their tanks and military vehicles are running out of fuel.

Many of their soldiers have been captured or killed too

Russia is alone and fast losing on all sides.

Yes Putin has a surprise for brainwashed mumu like you. As still stands now NATO is unable to use Ukraine as a launch pad. Baby America that got their asss whopped by bricklayers Taliban will finally meet their demise in eastern Europe. If moscow wants Kiev they will take it in 10 mins. Putin said from the onset his goal is not to occupy Ukraine but with America pushing it tanks will start rolling into the capital

I know you hate America as the Muslim you clearly are but Russia has already lost this.

In fact Putin knows he is losing which was why he had to ask Chechnia for help and send in 10000 of their mercenaries who happen to be Muslims

Ukrainian soldiers are waiting for them and have told them they will cut off their heads and play football with it

It was actually Putin who reached out to him for negotiations and offered for them to meet in Belarus but he declined the location and they are now in talks regarding agreeable location

Another classic case of a dumbed down camel. Russian soldiers are everywhere in Ukraine even close to the border city with Poland, Lviv. America predicted that Kiev will fall in 96hrs. Chess maters Putin is no longer giving information on Russian movement to keep bastard coward America guessing. His intentions are not even known. The media will continue twisting your head till tears of blood starts coming out from your eyes.

To all those idiots supporting Putin don't worry just wait till bandit or any form of terrorist invade your village then you will know that war is not good, to all those guys supporting Putin because you hate USA and the west I pray you and all your family witness what is called war and I pray you never survive it because poor children and defenseless old ones are dying right now cry. Please don't cry foul when Nigeria Army or Police invade your home and kill your love ones just like what Putin is doing to the Ukrainians right now. I can't understand why you will decided to kill innocent children and old ones just because you hate their president and your selfish interest even if it's Boko Haram little children I can't even dare to hurt them because they were innocent but Putin thinking is different his soul and his supporters belongs to the devil.

Translation of the conversation in the video:

Ukrainian driver talks to the Russians who ran out of fuel on their way to Kyiv:
- Vehicle broke?
- No, waiting for diesel.
- I can tug you back to Russia!
- [Russians laugh]
- Do you know where you are going?
- No. What's in the news?
- Ukraine is winning. Your guys are surrendering

Not possible unless Russia decides to carpet bomb some cities with large population in Ukraine.
Russia is being frustrated by Ukrainian forces cos it's seems the military installation they bombed during the first day of their invasion is blank diversion. Russia will win but e go cost.
