STORYLINE:
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy arrived in Lisbon on Tuesday where he was greeted by Portuguese Prime Minister Luis Montenegro.
Earlier Tuesday, Zelenskyy received a second $1 billion promise of military aid in as many days for his war with Russia during a whirlwind tour through the European Union.
The pledge for 2024 came from Belgium, which topped up the money with a commitment to give 30 F-16 fighter jets over the next four years.
The Netherlands added to the goodwill by promising to quickly assemble with key EU partners a Patriot air defense system, which Zelenskyy sees as key in stopping Russia from hitting his country’s power grid and civilian areas, as well as military targets, with devastating glide bombs that cause wide destruction.
NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg welcomed the move but insisted much more work was needed.
A day earlier, Zelenskyy signed a security agreement with Spain that allocates 1 billion euros ($1.1 billion) of military aid to Ukraine in 2024, and 5 billion euros ($5.4 billion) by 2027.
The bilateral aid is essential since the 27-nation bloc is again struggling to overcome Hungary’s objections to the EU itself providing billions of euros in military aid to Kyiv, which is in its third year of war following Russia’s 2022 full-scale invasion.
