Spain has committed an additional $235 million to modernize Ukraine’s energy and infrastructure sectors. The funding will be managed by the newly established Spanish Office for the Reconstruction of Ukraine, according to Ukrinform on February 20.
The announcement followed a meeting between Ukraine’s Ministry for Communities and Territories Development and Clara Guzmán Zapater, the head of the reconstruction office. Ukrainian officials noted that Spain’s total contributions to the country have now surpassed $993 million.

“We highly value Spain’s significant contribution to supporting Ukraine, which already exceeds 845 million euros. The creation of a specialized Reconstruction Office and the allocation of an additional 200 million euros for the modernization of energy and infrastructure are important steps toward strengthening the participation of Spanish businesses in these processes.
We are ready to jointly identify priority projects so that these funds are used with the maximum social effect for the needs of restoring Ukrainian infrastructure,” said First Deputy Minister Olena Shkrum.
The Reconstruction Office is designed to act as a “single window” for private Spanish companies looking to work in Ukraine.
During the meeting, officials discussed new long-term loans, grants, and technical support for businesses involved in recovery efforts following Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
The Ukrainian ministry suggested that Spanish partners focus on investment projects within the energy and logistics sectors. These projects are considered high-priority initiatives that are ready for immediate funding from both the Spanish government and private investors.
Work is now beginning on government-to-government agreements. These will serve as the legal framework for specific reconstruction and development projects.
The Spanish office aims to coordinate the resources needed for Ukraine’s modernization and reform. To better manage these efforts, officials are considering opening a branch of the office directly in Ukraine.
Earlier, on January 13, 2026, the Spanish Council of Ministers officially approved a $44.26 million contract with Indra to manufacture and supply a Lanza LTR-25 Long-Range Tactical Radar system to Ukraine.
This agreement included logistical support and was set to run through the end of 2026. The decision followed a high-level meeting in Madrid where President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with Spanish defense leaders to discuss expanding military cooperation.
