AMSTERDAM, Oct ⁠28 (Reuters) - The Dutch government said on ⁠Wednesday it would give Ukraine €1.2 ‌billion ($1.3 billion) in non-military support in the next three years, announcing the move a ​few hours ahead of a ⁠visit by Ukrainian ⁠President Volodymyr Zelenskiy to The Hague.

Zelenskiy ⁠is ‌expected in the Netherlands on Wednesday afternoon for meetings ⁠with Dutch Prime Minister Rob Jetten ​and other ‌cabinet members, followed by a ⁠visit to ​Dutch King Willem-Alexander, Jetten's office said.

The government pledged €380 million to help reconstruction ⁠in Ukraine next year ​and around €410 million in both 2028 and 2029.

Part of the money will be ⁠used for funds that support Dutch companies willing to invest in the rebuilding of Ukraine, the government said.

Other ​support is intended ⁠for urgent repairs of Ukraine's energy ​infrastructure and the supply ‌of machines to Ukrainian ​industry.
