According to the statement by AECID, the amount of Spanish humanitarian aid for Ukraine has exceeded €46 million in the last two years which is Madrid’s largest scale of aid for a single country.

Spain is also conducting training of a new group of Ukrainian soldiers with Hawk anti-aircraft systems.

Earlier, Spain confirmed the supply of six launchers for the Hawk anti-aircraft systems to Ukraine and announced the supply of 155- and 105-mm artillery shells.

Before that, the Spanish government approved the decision to supply Ukraine with six Hawk anti-aircraft system launchers following the results of the negotiations between Pedro Sanchez, head of the Spanish government, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
