Serhii Nikiforov, President Zelenskyy’s spokesman, said that Zelenskyy will meet ICC President Piotr Hofmański and Registrar Osvaldo Zavala Giler.

Zelenskyy will also be joined by Dutch Foreign Minister Wopke Hoekstra.

"Volodymyr Zelenskyy will hold a meeting with Mark Rutte, Prime Minister of the Netherlands, in a trilateral format, where they will be joined by Alexander De Croo, Prime Minister of Belgium. Zelenskyy will have an audience with King Willem-Alexander and visit a Dutch air force base," Nikiforov said.
