The Dutch government will positively respond if Ukraine makes an arms request, the Netherland's foreign minister said Friday.
Wopke Hoekstra said the situation has changed in the region when he spoke at a foreign affairs commission meeting concerning the Russia-Ukraine crisis.
The Dutch government did not previously intend to supply arms to Ukraine in an effort to not increase tensions in the region but the situation has shifted to a degree that it is necessary to look at the developments from a different perspective, he said.
Meanwhile, the majority of the Dutch parliament declared it is open to defensive military support to Ukraine.
