The package will include ammunition and is scheduled for delivery by the middle of the next year, Ukrainian state news agency Ukrinform reported.
Dutch Defence Minister Kajsa Ollongren said that about EUR 260 million of the total amount would be allocated for artillery rounds, while EUR 240 million would be earmarked for tank ammunition, according to Ukrinform.
"The [Ukrainians] need support to continue their struggle," Ollongren said during a two-day visit to Ukraine, as quoted by Ukrinform.
She added: "In this case, we are talking about ammunition ... we were able to offer Ukraine a new assistance package."
Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, 2022, launching the largest military campaign in Europe since World War II.
Friday is day 618 of Russia’s war on Ukraine.
