Background:
- Schoof and other government members were sworn in on 2 July. The new Dutch government was formed after the far-right Party for Freedom, led by Geert Wilders, won the election.
- However, as a result of coalition agreements, the posts of Foreign Minister and Defence Minister, important for Ukraine, were not given to representatives of the Party for Freedom. Dick Schoof, the former Dutch intelligence chief, does not belong to any political party.
- Ruben Brekelmans, the Defence Minister in the new Dutch government, said that he considers Ukraine’s accession to NATO “inevitable”.
