Spain prepares new military aid to Ukraine

Spain is preparing a new aid package for Ukraine, which could be finalised by June 30.

Sources told El Pais that the aid package will include:

• large-calibre artillery ammunition,
• light and heavy machine guns,
• protected wheeled logistics vehicles,
• armoured infantry vehicles,
• anti-tank weapons and field artillery shells,
• the first 10 battle tanks from a batch of 19 reconditioned Leopard 2 A4s.

In turn, Spanish companies will supply anti-aircraft surveillance systems and remote weapon stations for defence against drones.

According to the sources, the Spanish military aid to Ukraine is likely to be channelled through NATO.
