"We will remain committed to supporting the Ukrainian people for as long as necessary," Russian President Vladimir Putin stressed from Moncloa, "as long as the infamous and illegal attack ends and a just and lasting peace is achieved."
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez spoke this Tuesday with Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelenski, to whom he reiterated that Spain will continue to provide aid "always in coordination with Ukraine to ensure that we give it what it needs at every moment."
Rutte and Trump have pressed Sanchez.
NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte has assured Wednesday that Spain "cannot" respond to the alliance's security commitments by spending less than 3.5% on military spending, he said from the White House after meeting US President Donald Trump.
"Spain has committed itself to achieving the goal and says they can meet it by spending less than 3.5%. 'You can't,' I replied, and we will confirm it soon," said Rutte, showing clear disagreement with Pedro Sánchez's position.
From the White House, even Donald Trump has lamented that Spain "doesn't play in a team." "I think you'll have to talk to Spain," he told Rutte and suggested that "it's easy to solve the problem with Spain."
