Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said on Wednesday that the country would supply Ukraine with offensive weapons as Russia continues its special operation.

“I want to declare that Spain will also transfer offensive weapons to the Ukrainian resistance,” Mr Sanchez told lawmakers.

He stated that actions were coordinated at the European level.

“Therefore, we support the activation of the European Peace Facility for the supply of defensive and offensive weapons by the European Union to Ukraine,” he added. “That was my position and the position of the Spanish government, and I think it is adequate.”
