This is the best summary I could come up with:
Ukraine signed a bilateral security agreement with Spain today during President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s first official visit to Madrid.
Unfortunately, Russian aggression continues and we have to increase our support,” Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez said at a joint news conference with Zelenskyy.
He thanked Spain for providing additional air defense, artillery shells, and armored vehicles.
Sánchez said that Spain is already preparing additional Patriot air defense missiles and Leopard tanks, providing no details about the numbers.
Spain has refused to provide complete Patriot batteries to Kyiv but has agreed to send the missiles they fire.
The security pact with Spain is the 10th such agreement the Ukraine has struck with its allies — part of an effort to lock in long-term support while it waits to be admitted to NATO.
