Spain will provide Ukraine with a defence package worth €615 million, including €300 million for weapons procurement and €100 million under NATO’s PURL programme for rapid air-defense purchases, plus €215 million via the EU SAFE instrument for anti-drone systems and radars.

Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez met Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Madrid on November 19, 2025, and announced Spain will approve an additional €615 million package within a month during a joint press conference.

The package falls under multiple channels—a bilateral security agreement, PURL, and SAFE—though a concrete timeline beyond the one-month approval window was not specified.

News outlets reported the announcement, with Reuters cited by News.az as a source.

The emphasis on air defense reflects Spain’s priority to shield critical energy infrastructure amid intensified Russian strikes in the colder months.

Separately, a UN-backed project aims to restore central heating in Ukraine as part of broader humanitarian and reconstruction efforts.

Zelensky plans to visit Turkey to pursue renewed negotiations on a Ukrainian settlement, with Spain signaling continued support for a political solution.

Zelensky confirmed the Turkey trip to meet President Erdogan, stressing that sustaining support for Ukraine is essential to European security and freedoms.

European partners continue to contribute arms, with Germany delivering Patriot systems and pledging billions in weapons, including IRIS-T systems; reports suggest multiple IRIS-T batteries have been supplied, though exact figures remain undisclosed.

Zelensky highlighted ongoing and planned arms and support from other allies, including France’s eight SAMP-T systems, Rafale aircraft, and radars, with a long-term horizon beginning in 2026.

The Madrid announcement followed Zelensky’s visit to La Moncloa, with the news shared at a press conference after meetings at the presidential residence.
