Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will visit Spain “in the coming days”, the Spanish defence minister said on Wednesday, as Russia’s invasion enters a fifth year with no diplomatic breakthrough in sight.
“We cannot forget Ukraine. Ukraine is there, Ukraine exists, President Zelensky will come in the coming days,” Margarita Robles told journalists in Madrid without specifying a date.
Zelensky has already made visits to Spain as part of efforts to rally diplomatic and military support from Western allies since the full-scale war broke out in 2022.
In November, he secured a fresh military aid package worth 615 million euros ($714 million) from Spain after meeting Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez in Madrid.
The United States is pushing Kyiv and Moscow to agree to an elusive peace deal, but a third round of three-party talks has been derailed by the war in the Middle East.
