Spain to provide Ukraine with €437 million in military aid, Zelenskyy says
Spain will provide Ukraine with a new €437 million ($500 million approximately) military aid package, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced on November 5 following a conversation with Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez.
The two leaders discussed the contents of the package and Ukraine's most urgent defense needs, Zelenskyy said. He did not specify what weapons or equipment the assistance would include.
Zelenskyy also briefed Sánchez on the impact of Russian attacks on Ukraine's critical infrastructure, including energy facilities, logistics networks and railways.
According to the Ukrainian president, Russia has damaged more Ukrainian locomotives this year alone than in all previous years of the full-scale invasion combined.
"The power grid and water supply are under constant attack. The situation is difficult, especially in Kyiv, and every step of humanitarian support is also very important," Zelenskyy said, thanking Spain and Sánchez for their assistance.
