"We worked with José Manuel and our colleagues from other departments for a long time to ensure that Ukraine receives a new package of military aid from Spain as soon as possible. I am very glad that the new package is available, it is already on its way to Ukraine, and in the near future, our state will strengthen its defense capability by receiving a battery of the Aspide anti-aircraft missile system, and its missiles, four Hawk air defense systems, anti-tank missile systems, guns and shells for them, as well as other military equipment," he noted.
