King Felipe Reaffirms Support For Ukraine

King Felipe offered Spain’s renewed support for Ukraine this weekend as President Donald Trump threatens to cut off U.S. support.

His Majesty spoke in favor of Ukraine’s “legitimate defense” and in wanting to secure a “lasting peace” respecting “territorial integrity.”

Don Felipe’s comments at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona followed Trump and U.S. Vice President JD Vance berating Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in the White House.

King Felipe has been focused on foreign affairs in recent weeks. He just returned from a trip to Uruguay to welcome that country’s new president, Yamandú Orsi.

King Felipe and Queen Letizia also recently hosted Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi to the Madrid Royal Palace.
