The Netherlands is involved in international diplomatic tensions with Russia, particularly over allegations of vandalism at Soviet war memorials, including the desecration of approximately 150 graves at the 'Soviet Field of Glory' in Lelystad. The country has also been a participant in European defense initiatives, such as forming a coalition against ballistic missiles and providing military support to Ukraine, which Russia claims has led to increased financial burden on the Netherlands.
