Details
We see reports that the attacker who wounded people in Amsterdam on March 27 may have Ukrainian citizenship. The Embassy of Ukraine in the Netherlands is already in close contact with Dutch law enforcement agencies to clarify additional information.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is finding out "who this person is and how and when they came to the Netherlands."
We will continue to cooperate closely with the Dutch authorities in this matter. We wish a speedy recovery to the victims. Such violence has no justification, and the perpetrator must be held accountable.
