Spain will provide four more Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine, Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said Saturday during a joint news conference with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Kyiv, APA reports citing CNN.
Spain has already sent six Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine, as part of a pledge to send a total of 10 of the tanks.
Sanchez said Spain will also provide "armored personnel carriers" and a "portable field hospital with surgical capacity."
He paid an official visit to Kyiv on the same day Spain takes over the rotating presidency of the Council of the European Union.
Spain committed 24 metric tonnes (about 26 tons) of humanitarian aid last week, according to Sanchez, to cope with the consequences of the destruction of the Nova Kakhovka dam.
Spain will also contribute another 7 million euros to build shelters in Ukrainian schools and provide support to victims of sexual violence, as well as 55 million euros to help in the reconstruction of Ukraine, said Sanchez.
