The Spanish government has not provided any additional details about Zelenskyy’s visit for security reasons.

On May 13, El Pais reported that Zelensky would visit Madrid in the coming days to sign a bilateral Spanish-Ukrainian security agreement with Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez.

In April, Ukrainian presidential adviser Ihor Zhovkva said that the bilateral agreement between Spain and Ukraine would have “several distinct features” compared to similar documents Kyiv signed with other countries.
