Svyrydenko stressed that this is the first visit to Ukraine at such a high parliamentary level in the history of bilateral relations.

I thanked Spain for its contributions to the Ukraine Energy Support Fund, the transfer of 76 generators, support for Ukraine within the PURL initiative, the decision to allocate EUR 1 billion in military aid to Ukraine in 2026, and the use of the SAFE mechanism for joint production," Svyrydenko said.
