Spanish ships join NATO forces in the Black Sea
As a sign of support for Ukraine, Spanish ships will join NATO forces in the Mediterranean and Black Sea. The reason for these actions of Madrid was the increase in the number of Russian troops on the Ukrainian border.
This statement was made by the Minister of Defense of Spain, Margarita Roblis.
She believes that the movement of the Russian Armed Forces across the territory of their country increases tension on the European continent.
- said the Spanish official, implying Kiev's desire to join NATO.
However, she added that Madrid will fight for the sovereignty of any country that wants to join the North Atlantic Alliance.
The Minister said that one of the minesweepers of the Spanish Navy has already set off, and the frigate Blas de Lezo will do so in three to four days. In addition, several Spanish fighters will be transferred to Bulgaria.
At the same time, Ms. Robblis noted that Madrid prefers diplomatic methods of conflict resolution.
Last autumn, the Western press reported on the accumulation of a large group of Russian troops near the borders of Ukraine. From this, it was concluded that Moscow was preparing a military invasion of a neighboring country.
If Madrid will fight for the sovereignty of Ukraine, then why, then, does it deny the right to fight for the sovereignty of, for example, Catalonia? After all, the inhabitants of Catalonia are in favor of independence from Spain and simultaneous membership in the EU and NATO.
