More questions are being taken now.

Zelensky is asked about the potential of Nato membership for Ukraine.

"We're realistic - we know we won't be in Nato during the war [but] we have a very clear message that we will be in Nato after the war", Zelensky says.

On potential EU membership, Rutte says he is "impressed" by Zelensky who is "fighting a war" and also "clearing the way for EU accession".

Stepping away from the press conference briefly, we've just heard from the US in response to claims by Russia that Washington was behind the alleged drone attacks on the Kremlin.

White House national security spokesman Admiral John Kirby has told broadcaster MSNBC that the claims by Russia are false.

He said the US does not encourage or enable Ukraine to strike outside its borders.

Russia originally accused Kyiv of orchestrating the alleged drone strike on the Kremlin, describing it as an attempted assassination attempt on President Putin.

President Zelensky strongly denied that his country carried out the attack, saying it is the pretext for escalation between the two nations.

Moscow shifted its blame to the US earlier today.

De Croo ends by saying Russia needs to be hit economically in a "smart" and "effective" way.

"Using Russian money to rebuild a country they are destroying makes perfect sense, from an economic and moral perspective," he says.

A reporter then starts asking a question in Ukrainian before Dutch PM Rutte and De Croo have put on their headsets on for the translation.

"We are quick in Ukraine," Zelensky jokes as the audience laughs.

Zelensky is answering the journalist's question in Ukrainian - we'll bring you what he is saying when we have it.

Next we hear from Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo, who states that Belgium is preparing a second package of military aid for Ukraine.

De Croo says it is important to continue to show solidarity with Ukraine, and help the country oppose a "cruel and illegal occupation".

He compares what is happening to World War Two, and says there is no doubt the country will require further support into the future.

Zelensky ends his statement by calling for stronger sanctions against Russia.

He calls for the "assets of the terrorist state to be confiscated" and "ruins to be rebuilt".

He asks to restore what he describes as the "full force of human charter and international law".

He ends his speech by saying: "I'm sure we will do it."

President Zelensky calls for a decision from Western allies on the provision of modern aircrafts to Ukraine.

He says there is "no rational reason" to postpone doing so.

"We cooperate and trust each other and together we truly make Europe stronger," he states.

He says discussions later today will focus on Ukraine and EU relations, and calls for Ukraine's membership of Nato to be on the agenda at the 2023 Nato Vilnius summit, which will take place in July.

Zelensky begins the press conference by saying he is in The Hague to restore peace and justice​.

He says he is grateful to the Netherlands and Belgium for their common values in Europe and the sanctions they have imposed against Russia, adding that the important thing now is "to deliver what was promised to our soldiers as quickly as possible".

He also reiterates his calls for further military assistance.

Yesterday afternoon the Kremlin claimed it had shot down two drones in Moscow.

The BBC’s Analysis Editor Ros Atkins looks at footage that has been circulating on Russian social media after Moscow claimed Ukraine tried to assassinate President Vladimir Putin.

As we reported earlier, the Kremlin has now blamed the US for yesterday's alleged drone attack on the Kremlin, after initially blaming Kyiv, but without giving evidence. The US is yet to respond.

Some commentators have argued that yesterday's drone strike on the Kremlin was internally conducted and purposefully staged by Russia.

Washington-based think tank, the Institute for the Study of War, said it's "extremely unlikely that two drones could have penetrated multiple layers of air defence and detonated or been shot down just over the heart of the Kremlin in a way that provided spectacular imagery caught nicely on camera".

Yurii Ihnat, a spokesman for the Ukrainian Air Force, said he thought Russia had staged the attack on the Kremlin to try to "show some kind of escalation on the part of Ukraine".

But other commentators disagreed, and said Russia would have little interest in making itself look "weak" by staging an attack that made the Kremlin look vulnerable.

It would also lead to questions about how well-protected Putin is - and about the effectiveness of Russian air defences.

Let's bring you some reaction to Zelensky's speech from Michael Bociurkiw, a senior fellow at the Atlantic Council's Eurasia Center who is currently in Odessa, Ukraine.

"I think the feeling here is the wheels of justice have been turning very slowly," he says referring to Russian crimes committed in Bucha last April.

But, Bociurkiw points out Russia does not to subscribe to decisions out of The Hague and that neither Russia nor Ukraine are members of the International Criminal Court.

"They won't hand over suspects, so it will be difficult to achieve justice in that regard."

Speaking about tensions in Kyiv, Bociurkiw admits he is afraid Russia would risk a strike in the capital.

He tells the BBC: "When the Russians are backed into a corner, in fact when President Putin has used this imagery before, what they do is they strike back and strike back hard.

"It is very much according to their Russian play book they are probably due to do something very damaging, ill-thought out and could escalate things.

"We should be prepared for anything."

Russia has accused the United States of being behind an overnight drone attack on the Kremlin that it says intended to kill Vladimir Putin.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that "decisions on such attacks are not made in Kyiv, but in Washington".

"Kyiv only does what it is told to do," he told reporters in a briefing.

Peskov did not provide any evidence to back up the claims, but he said that an urgent investigation was under way.

Yesterday, US officials said the White House had no warning of a drone attack on the Kremlin.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken cast doubt on the Kremlin's accusations following the event, and said: "I would take anything coming out of the Kremlin with a very large shaker of salt."

Ukraine has also denied responsibility for the attack.

Here's a reminder of what President Zelensky said in his address to the Hague:

• Zelensky called for the establishment of a war tribunal which holds Russia's "crimes of aggression" to account and builds on the example set by Nuremburg - the trials held by the Allies against representatives of defeated Nazi Germany
• He accused Russia of 6,000 war crimes in April alone, leading to the deaths of 207 Ukrainian civilians including 11 children
• The Ukrainian president listed other alleged war crimes by Russia - including the "millions" of strikes in the Donbas regions and those killed during the occupation of Bucha
• He said "we all want to see a different Vladimir here", referencing Russian President Putin, who he called "the one who deserves to be sentenced for criminal actions in the capital of international law"

• He thanked the Netherlands for supplying weapons to Ukraine, and said the war is won by "force of arms" - a nod to his repeated calls for more weapons from his allies

• He said the conflict in Ukraine was "the war we didn't want, the one we have to make the last - and we will do it"

Zelensky again thanks the Dutch political leadership for being with Ukraine "on this path". He also praises the Netherlands for honouring the memories of lives lost in the Second World War.

He describes the current conflict in Ukraine as "the war we didn't want, the one we have to make the last - and we will do it".

Zelensky concludes with his trademark "slava Ukraini" - which means "glory to Ukraine" in Ukrainian.

The room rises to its feet to applaud him as he ends his speech.

The Ukrianian president continues by saying only a tribunal would be capable of holding these "crimes of aggression" to account.

He says it's unfair to future generations to give them "problems we can't solve" and that it's "wrong that someone is afraid to give full force to justice."

He says Ukrainian courts will ensure Russian occupiers take responsibility for most of their crimes. He pays thanks to the International Criminal Court (ICC), which he says is working for justice.

After that moment of pause, Zelensky speaks about how war crimes can be addressed by the international community.

"This is a crime of aggression, the start of evil the primary crime," he says.

He calls for the creation of a war cimes tribunal and refers to the Nuremberg process - a nod to trials which were held by the Allies against representatives of defeated Nazi Germany.

Zelensky says there are shortcomings in current international law.

Zelensky lists the alleged war crimes committed by Russia.

He refers to "millions" of strikes in the Donbas regions, people killed during the occupation of Bucha, an alleged filtration camp that "Russia has set up in our independent land" - as well as "every prisoner tortured in Russian captivity and every city bombed by Russia."

The audience stands as Zelensky leads a minute of silence in memory of the lives lost following the invasion.

Zelensky continues his address by calling for freedom, justice and peace to be respected.

"It is exactly what we need now," he says.

The Ukrainian president says some 6,139 war crimes have been committed by Russians alone in April. (Russia has previously denied carrying out such atrocities during the war.)

Zelensky says these crimes have led to the deaths of 207 Ukrainian civilians, including 11 children.

He mentions an attack on Kherson yesterday, which killed 23 and injured another 49.

Zelensky says more than the fate of one country is at stake in this war, adding that we "cannot stop wars of aggression, but can defeat aggression as a criminal idea that originates in the mindset of someone who is used to impunity."

He continues: "If you look at any war of aggression, they all have one thing in common - the perpetrator of the war did not believe they would have to stand to answer for what they did."

He says war is won by "force of arms", and thanks the Netherlands for supplying weapons to Ukraine.

"A lasting peace after victory is achieved by nothing else but strength of values," he adds.
