Netherlands Delivers Minehunter Ship to Ukraine

Navy Commander Oleksii Neizhpapa announced that the Netherlands has delivered a minehunter ship to Ukraine. A second vessel of the same class is expected to be delivered by the end of 2025, with crew training already underway.

Kateryna Denisova, a reporter at the Kyiv Independent, covers Ukrainian domestic politics and social issues. She has a bachelor's degree in journalism from Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv and was a fellow at journalism schools in the Czech Republic and Germany.

"The topic of Tomahawks is of extreme concern," Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said. "Just imagine: a long-range missile is launched and is flying and we know that it could be nuclear."

Russia has intensified attacks on Ukraine's railway infrastructure, resulting in train delays and cancellations as autumn sets in.
