As part of his visit, Albares, alongside his Ukrainian counterpart Andrii Sybiha and UNESCO Director-General Audrey Azoulay, inaugurated a cultural centre funded by the Spain-UNESCO Trust Fund for Development Cooperation.

Spain’s Foreign Ministry declared that the centre was established with the aim to create a dedicated space for culture as a driver of peace and resilience amidst the war and post-war recovery in Ukraine. The cultural production infrastructure in Ukraine has reportedly lost 90% of its resources due to the war.

Quote: "This centre is part of Spain’s comprehensive engagement in Ukraine's reconstruction, reaffirmed today by the announcement of an additional €10 million in humanitarian aid from Spanish Cooperation, adding to the €100 million Spain has provided to Ukraine since the beginning of the war."

More details: In addition to financial assistance, Spain’s solidarity with Ukraine was further highlighted by Albares’ visit to a hospital in Lviv. There, he announced that a Spanish medical training team would soon be deployed to conduct training sessions for Ukrainian hospital staff.

Background:

  • In early January, Spanish Defence Minister Margarita Robles announced that Spain would soon send 10 power generators to Ukraine.
  • Previously, Albares stated that he does not consider President-elect Donald Trump’s claims to "end the war in 24 hours" realistic, as peace is unattainable as long as Russia is unwilling to engage.
