Spanish Defense Minister Margarita Robles said that two planes with weapons: 1,370 grenade launchers and 700,000 rounds of ammunition will depart for Ukraine this Friday.

"All this will depart on Friday morning, they will go by Air Force planes to Poland, to a point very close to the border with Ukraine, and there they will be taken away by the Ukrainian authorities," Robles said in an interview with Antena 3.

Robles explains that this is the first but "very important" batch because it is a weapon that provides "very individualized protection, meaning it can be used by people who do not have much experience with weapons."
