Firstpost Spain–Ukraine Aid LIVE: Madrid Announces €817M Package & U.S. Weapons Purchase | N18G

Spain will mobilise a new package of aid for Ukraine worth 817 million euros ($946 million) and purchase U.S. military equipment worth 100 million euros under NATO’s Prioritised Ukraine Requirements List (PURL) initiative, Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said on Tuesday (November 18). He spoke at a news conference alongside Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, in Madrid as part of his European tour aiming to bolster Kyiv’s air defences against Russia’s invasion. Zelenskiy will travel to Turkey on Wednesday (November 19), where he is expected to coincide with U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff for talks about reviving hopes of a potential peace deal with Russia. Spain has come under fire from NATO allies for rejecting calls by U.S. President Donald Trump for European members to increase their defense spending to 5% of their gross domestic product, though it has been vocal in its support for Ukraine and is participating in new NATO eastern flank defense missions.
