Spain is preparing to transfer new military aid to Ukraine, which will include ammunition, according to the head of the Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Dmytro Kuleba.

"During our meeting, I thanked José Manuel Albares for Spain’s support and solidarity with Ukraine," the statement said.

According to Kuleba, Spain will prepare a new package of military assistance for Ukraine, which will include ammunition.

The ministers also discussed the Peace Formula and the Global Peace Summit in Switzerland. They agreed that Ukraine's accession to the EU is proceeding according to plan.

Ammunition shortage

Ukrainian defenders are experiencing a shortage of artillery ammunition, which directly affects the situation on the front lines. In particular, Ukrainian defenders recently had to retreat from Avdiivka amid a very difficult situation around the city.

Following this, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba stated that Kyiv would not have lost Avdiivka if allies had timely provided artillery ammunition.

Earlier, military expert and former spokesperson for the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Vladyslav Seleznov, explained in a comment to RBC-Ukraine how Ukraine plans to solve the problem of ammunition shortages.
