Spain PM pledges EU support for Ukraine as Zelenskyy slams foot-dragging

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez pledged the EU’s “unequivocal” support for Ukraine in Kyiv on Saturday (Jul 1) as Spain assumed presidency of the bloc, while Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy hit out at foot-dragging over pilot training by “some” Western nations.
Sixteen months into Russia’s invasion, Ukraine says it is fighting “fierce” battles as part of its counteroffensive launched last month after weeks of anticipation.
But both Zelenskiy and his commander-in-chief Valery Zaluzhny registered their frustration over the slow deliveries of weapons and lack of clarity over pilot training.
