The Netherlands has pledged to strengthen Ukraine's air defense by providing additional Patriot missiles, as the country continues to fight off Russia's invasion. Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte made an unannounced visit to Ukraine, meeting with President Volodymyr Zelensky in Odesa. The leaders discussed the enhancement of Ukrainian air defenses and defense cooperation. The move comes as North Korea reportedly delivered over 1,000 containers of military equipment and munitions to Russia for its ongoing war in Ukraine, according to the White House. The assistance from the Netherlands will help Ukraine defend its people, ports, and infrastructure as winter approaches.
