Spain to Transfer Hawk Air Defense Systems to Ukraine, Says Stoltenberg

The Spanish authorities plan to transfer four of their Hawk air defense systems to Ukraine. This announcement was made by NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg during a press conference following a meeting of the alliance's defense ministers on October 13.

"I welcome Spain's announcement to send four Hawk launching sites to strengthen Ukraine's air defense," he said.

This aid will complement the artillery, air defense systems, and armored vehicles that NATO members have already sent to Kyiv in recent weeks.
