Spain is preparing a new military aid package to Ukraine. Among other things, it will contain the second batch of Leopard tanks, as well as missiles for the Patriot complex. The Minister of Defense of Spain, Margarita Robles, spoke about this on Monday, May 20, at the 22nd meeting of the Contact Group on the Defense of Ukraine in the Ramstein format.
