"Held a productive meeting with Minister of Defence of the Kingdom of Spain Margarita Robles. We discussed key issues of common security and further strengthening of the Defence Forces of Ukraine. We identified priority areas of cooperation that require special attention. In particular, we focused on deepening industrial cooperation, strengthening air defence systems, supplies of ammunition and armored vehicles," Umerov wrote on Facebook.
