Dutch govt pledges 2.5 bn euro for Ukraine; Zelensky to address US senators

The Dutch government has allocated 2.5 billion euros (nearly $2.7 billion) to support Ukraine in 2024, the country's foreign minister announced during a visit on Tuesday. The announcement comes as the 21-month war drags into another winter and concerns grow that Kyiv's war effort may falter without continued Western support. Foreign Minister Hanke Bruins Slot sought to assure Ukrainian authorities, telling journalists after a meeting with Ukraine's Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba: "My main message to Minister Kuleba was the same as to all of you here. Be assured of our support. Bruins Slot said her country opened a training centre for F-16s in Romania on Nov 13 and is working with the US, Denmark and other countries to see that Ukraine can deploy the fighter jets as soon as possible.

Netherlands election winner is anti-Islam firebrand known as Dutch Trump

He's been called the Dutch Donald Trump. He's been threatened with death countless times by Islamic extremists, convicted of insulting Moroccans and Britain once banned him from entering the country. Now Geert Wilders has won a massive victory in a Dutch election and is in pole position to form the next ruling coalition and possibly become the Netherlands' next prime minister. An exit poll revealing his landslide appeared to take even 60-year-old political veteran Wilders by surprise. In his first reaction, posted in a video on X, he spread his arms wide, put his face in his hands and said simply "35!" -- the number of seats an exit poll forecast his Party for Freedom, or PVV, won in the 150-seat lower house of parliament. Wilders, with his fiery tongue has long been one of the Netherlands' best-known lawmakers at home and abroad. His populist policies and shock of peroxide blond hair have drawn comparisons with Trump.
