Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy arrived in Madrid on Monday to sign a bilateral security agreement with Spain aimed at bolstering Ukraine's defense capabilities in its ongoing conflict with Russia. The agreement, reportedly valued at 1.1 billion euros ($1.2 billion), includes provisions for Spain to supply Ukraine with additional weapons.
Upon his arrival, Zelenskyy was greeted by Spain's King Felipe VI at Barajas airport before proceeding to hold discussions with Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez. Zelenskyy's visit comes in the wake of a recent offensive by Russian forces in Ukraine, particularly in the northeastern Kharkiv region, which has put significant pressure on Ukrainian troops.
