Details: Albares visited the headquarters of the Finanzauto company in an industrial complex in Madrid where seven generators are stored. They will be delivered within the next few days through Poland for civilians of Ukraine to use in conditions of the "new winter that will be particularly hard".
Serhii Pohoreltsev, Ukrainian Ambassador in Spain, accompanied the Spanish Foreign Minister during his visit. Pohoreltsev characterised Russia’s attacks on vital infrastructure for civilians, such as power facilities, as "the absence of humanity" and "violation of international law".
Seven generators, provided by the Spanish Agency for International Development Cooperation (AECID), three of 200 KV and four of 220 KV, worth €360,000, are the continuation of the Spanish aid for Ukraine, which also includes 14 generators and two ambulances provided in November 2022.
Pohoreltsev stressed that generators would help mitigate the consequences of constant Russian bombardments of critical infrastructure facilities and facilitate a stable power supply.
"Not being able to achieve their goals on the battlefield, Russian troops resort to methods of terror against civilians," the Ukrainian ambassador said.
Background:
