President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Prime Minister of the Netherlands Dick Schoof held a meeting with veterans of the Russian-Ukrainian war in Zaporizhia, the head of state said.

“In Zaporizhia, together with the Prime Minister of the Netherlands, we met with veterans of the Russian-Ukrainian war—warriors who have defended Ukraine both since 2014 and 2022. We discussed crucial topics related to the defense of our state and how the Netherlands can assist Ukraine in our struggle,” Zelenskyy said on Telegram Monday evening.

The President of Ukraine thanked the veterans “for everything they have done for Ukraine and for ensuring that the memory of those who gave their lives because of the enemy is not forgotten.” “It is vital that we fully defend both this memory and our land,” Zelenskyy stressed.
