Madrid’s EU presidency: Spain’s FM says Europe awaits Spanish leadership
Asked about Kiyv’s request for international aid following the destruction of the Kakhovka dam in southern Ukraine, Albares says that “The EU is always trying to respond as quickly as possible to all needs, whether humanitarian, to take care of the refugees, [or] militarily. ... And Spain, bilaterally, is preparing a very important package of humanitarian aid, and our voice will be raised in Brussels to make sure that the EU responds – and it will respond.”
