“Ukraine is today the heart of Europe. Freedom and democracy will always win out over coercion and violence. Today, just as six months ago, Spain stands and will always stand by the Ukrainian people in their struggle to defend a free and peaceful future,” tweeted Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez.
The military aid shipment includes around 20 armored vehicles, 75 pallets of ammunition for field artillery and a full air defense battery, as well as 1,000 tonnes of diesel worth around €2.5 million. Both armored cars and ammunition are already at the disposal of the Ukrainian authorities.
In addition to weapons, a shipment of 30,000 units of military uniforms for the winter, 15,600 jackets, 15,000 suits and several thousand units of additional clothing has been prepared “on urgent request”. Shipment is scheduled for September.
Spain will also teach the Ukrainian military how to operate an anti-aircraft battery, as well as conduct training for the personnel of the Ukrainian Air Force “in an ally country”, the name of which was not specified by the Ministry of Defense.
