Zelenskyy Visits Madrid to Sign a Bilateral Security Agreement

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has arrived in Madrid with an official visit. King Felipe VI personally welcomed the Ukrainian delegation in Spain.

Leaders of the two countries will hold a meeting after a joint press conference with Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez.

“During this visit, we will sign a bilateral security agreement and hold negotiations with Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez. Discussions will center on continuing defense cooperation, preparing a new military aid package, and training for the Ukrainian military,” Zelenskyy said.

Earlier, Zelenskyy canceled his visit to Spain, scheduled for May 17, due to Russia’s offensive in the Kharkiv region, issuing an order to postpone all international events with his participation.

At the beginning of May, Zelenskyy announced the process of developing bilateral security agreements with seven countries, including the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Denmark, Italy, Canada, the Netherlands, Finland, and Latvia.
