Conflictos · Defensa aérea de UcraniaPromesa de €500 millones de ayuda neerlandesa a Ucrania, pero el país sigue necesitando misilesEscrito 29 de octubre de 2026 a las 9:19 UTCVerTranscripción0:07The Netherlands is preparing half a billion euros in military aid.0:10Ukraine needs missiles that can intercept Russian ballistic attacks, and President0:14Volodymyr Zelensky says supplies are critically short.0:17Dutch and Ukrainian teams have also started a joint air defense project.0:21The immediate question is which weapons will reach Ukraine and when they can help0:25protect people through winter.0:26Zelensky announced the package after meeting Dutch Prime Minister Rob Jettin in The0:30Hague on October28,2026 .0:33He described protection against Russian air attacks as a central purpose of the0:36support.0:37The timing he gave was preparation this autumn.0:39Jettin described military support for winter and pledged available air defense0:43supplies ahead of winter.0:45While seeking further deliveries from partners, those commitments still leave0:48Ukraine waiting for a firm shipment schedule.0:50Drones and air defense weapons are among the broad categories being discussed.0:54Zelensky put the military package at500 million euros, equivalent to a reported five0:58hundred fifty-seven million dollars.1:00He thanked the Netherlands for support being prepared that fall.1:02The announcement gives a financial scale, while the equipment and arrival dates1:06still need to be spelled out.1:07Ukraine's most urgent request is more specific than a general appeal for weapons.1:12Zelensky says Russia is relying heavily on ballistic missiles as winter approaches.1:16Ukraine needs interceptor missiles to shoot them down, and he says its American-made1:20patriot systems face a critical shortage.1:22Zelensky identified the shortfall alongside Jetin at their joint press conference.1:26He asked for particular help securing missiles against ballistic attacks.1:30That request puts the immediate pressure on supplying ammunition for air defenses1:34Ukraine already uses.1:35A day earlier, on October twenty-seven, Zelensky urged Washington to authorize1:39Patriot interceptor deliveries he said had been delayed nearly a month.1:43He also raised delays involving Nassim's air defense missiles.1:46He said Russia had launched more than one hundred ballistic missiles against Kyiv1:50and the surrounding region in the two weeks since October14.1:53Transfers of American-made missiles can require US authorization.1:56Allies can pay for American weapons through PURL, a NATO coordinated purchasing2:01program for Ukraine.2:02The purchasing arrangement still depends on the approvals and shipments that put2:05those weapons into Ukrainian hands.2:07US Secretary of State Marco Rubio acknowledged that a batch of interceptors might2:11not have arrived, but denied a politically motivated delay.2:14Zelensky's account describes both heavy demand and a supply bottleneck.2:18The Dutch announcement hasn't yet identified whether its package includes the2:21Patriot interceptors he's requesting.2:23Ukrainian and Dutch teams have begun developing Blixim, the joint air defense2:27project Zelensky announced during the visit.2:29He said the teams had received their task and started work.2:32Its role for now is development, with an operational timetable still to come.2:36The governments haven't detailed Blixim's design or capabilities or said whether2:40the500 million euros will finance it.2:42The visit also brought together Ukrainian and Dutch defense, energy and software2:46executives.2:47Ukrainian officials joined online from Kiev.2:49Their priorities included defense production, joint technology, energy and industry,2:53alongside satellite technologies and air defense.2:56Jetin has also pledged maintenance, spare parts, and ammunition for Ukraine's F-163:00fleet.3:01During an October5 call, Zelensky said Dutch supplied F-16 Seconds were shooting3:06down a significant share of Russia's jet-powered Shahead drones.3:09The leaders signed a drone agreement in July covering joint production, technology3:13development, exchanges of expertise and arms exports.3:16The new business discussions aim to turn political agreements into production and3:20jobs in both countries.3:21Zelensky said some bilateral projects were just beginning and declined to disclose3:25much about them.3:26The Netherlands also announced separate civilian support during Foreign Trade3:29Minister Schward Scourtzma's visit to Kyiv.3:31The1 .2 billion euro program covers three years of urgent assistance: recovery and3:36reconstruction.3:37Energy and water infrastructure are major priorities, alongside support for3:41businesses.3:42The civilian program combines eight hundred and seventy eight million euros3:45previously outlined in the Dutch coalition agreement with three hundred and twenty3:49seven million announced on September fifteenth.3:51It supports infrastructure repairs, emergency supplies, and cooperation with3:54businesses providing equipment and expertise.3:56Zelensky and Jeton also discussed the US mediated peace process ahead of anticipated4:01UkraineRussia US talks in Abu Dhabi, including how Europe's position could be4:05represented.4:06A negotiating date hasn't been confirmed.4:08For the military support, preparation is underway and blixum development has4:12started.4:13Ukraine is still waiting for the equipment list and shipment dates that would show4:16whether the Dutch commitment can ease its ballistic missile defense shortage this4:20winter.Leer el artículoCronología de la historiaHeyDex
