GENEVA (AA) - The Spanish prime minister announced on Thursday that he will visit Kyiv on Monday to reaffirm Spain’s support for Ukraine and its President Volodymyr Zelenskyy after US President Donald Trump labeled him a "dictator."
"On Monday I will be in Kyiv to reaffirm Spain's support for Ukrainian democracy and President Zelenskyy #SlavaUkraini (#GlorytoUkraine)," Pedro Sanchez wrote on X.
The visit comes shortly after Trump called the Ukrainian leader a "dictator without elections" and warned that he "better move fast or he is not going to have a Country left."
Trump posted on his social media platform Truth Social hours after Zelenskyy hit back at his suggestion that Kyiv "should have never started" the war, saying the US president was living in a Russian "space of disinformation."
Trump has advanced negotiations to end the three-year-long Russia-Ukraine war, without the participation of Kyiv and other European governments.
He said Europe has failed to bring peace in Ukraine, and the US was successfully negotiating an end to the war.
