Spain to provide Ukraine $490 million in military aid, Zelensky says

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced a new military aid package from Spain worth 437 million euros during a meeting with Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez. This funding aims to enhance Ukraine's air defenses amid ongoing Russian attacks on infrastructure. Zelensky expressed gratitude for Spain's consistent support and solidarity following a recent train accident in Spain. He highlighted the severe impact of Russian strikes on Ukraine's transportation system, noting significant damage to locomotives this year. The situation remains critical, particularly in Kyiv, with ongoing shortages of power and water due to attacks. Ukraine continues to seek additional air defense systems, including Patriot missiles, to prepare for winter threats.
