Spanish Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares visited Ukraine on 28 January for the third time since the start of the full-scale war to assess the impact of Russian aggression on the country and reaffirm Spain’s support for the Ukrainian government. While in Ukraine, he announced an additional €10 million in humanitarian aid.
Albares, alongside his Ukrainian counterpart Andrii Sybiha and UNESCO Director-General Audrey Azoulay, also officially opened a cultural centre funded by UNESCO’s Spanish Funds in Trust for Development Cooperation.
Quote: “This centre underscores Spain’s ongoing commitment to Ukraine’s recovery, which is reflected in the announcement of €10 million in humanitarian aid from Spanish Cooperation, which is in addition to the €100 million Spain has already provided to Ukraine since the war began.”
Additionally, Spain has allocated €400 million for recovery aid since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
Background: In June, Ukraine was granted access to Spanish state recovery funds amounting to €50 million, a €1 million grant to support businesses, and €4.6 million for humanitarian mine clearance needs.
