Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has arrived in Ukraine to meet President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on the eve of the one-year anniversary of Russia’s invasion, according to Sanchez’s office on Thursday.
His office added in a statement that Sanchez was received by Ukraine’s deputy foreign minister, the Ukrainian ambassador in Madrid and the Spanish ambassador to Ukraine.
Sanchez’s visit comes after US President Joe Biden had promised new military aid for Ukraine worth $500 million during a surprise visit to Kyiv on Monday.
On Tuesday, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni also visited the Ukrainian capital for talks with Zelenskyy, whom she promised to continue supporting in resisting Russian attacks but ruled out offering fighter jets.
On Wednesday, Spain’s Defense Minister Margarita Robles told lawmakers in the lower house that Madrid would supply six German-made 2A4 Leopard battle tanks to Ukraine after they undergo repairs, with the delivery expected for late March or early April.
