KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — The Dutch government says it has allocated 2.5 billion euros to support Ukraine in 2024. Foreign Minister Hanke Bruins Slot announced it during a visit. The 21-month war is entering another winter and concerns are growing that Kyiv’s war effort may falter unless it gets continued Western support. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is addressing U.S. senators by video later Tuesday. The Biden administration wants Congress to approve the White House’s nearly $106 billion funding request for the wars in Ukraine and Israel and other security needs.
