The Dutch Defense Ministry is investing €54 million ($58.8 million) to boost its military drones production capacity to help Ukraine, according to State Secretary of Defense Christophe van der Maat.

The money will be used to both finance production sites and further support research into drones, Van der Maat told Bloomberg on Friday. These investments will help to deliver drones to Ukraine and boost the Dutch military.
