Dear colleagues,
Last Monday, the Dutch House of Representatives had a full-day plenary debate with the Prime Minister,
the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Minister of Defence on the current crisis in Ukraine. In the
Netherlands we are not used to filing common resolutions, but instead the following motions were
approved by an (often large) majority (below also the link to the motion and voting result in Dutch):
