Ukraine has already received missiles for Patriot air defence systems from Spain.

This was announced by Spanish Defence Minister Margarita Robles while visiting military facilities in Zaragoza, El Mundo reports.

Robles stressed that it is important for Kyiv to receive missiles for air defence, as Russia uses "even cluster bombs and all kinds of weapons against the civilian population".

The minister did not disclose the number of missiles sent.

"Ukraine defends its territorial integrity, it protects human lives. These missiles are intended for air defence, it should be very clear, and they should defend themselves against the attacks they are facing," Robles said.

The head of the Spanish Defence Ministry stressed that her country "will support Ukraine and unite with its allies in the European Union and NATO".
