Quote: "We are approaching the NATO summit in Vilnius, which will be a continuation of the commitments we made last year in Madrid. Spain supports the expansion of Ukraine's political participation through the creation of a Ukraine-NATO Council, where it will no longer be an invitee, but a member, a full member," he declared.

The Prime Minister of Spain also advocated for the improvement of practical cooperation between Ukraine and NATO. Quote: "Spain will also continue to contribute: we are supplying more Leopard tanks, armoured personnel carriers and a field hospital with surgical capabilities.

We also continue to be in contact with other countries and continents to explain what is really happening in Ukraine and to listen to their concerns, especially those related to food or energy security," Sanchez added.
