Earlier on May 28, the Ukrainian president arrived in Belgium for a short visit. Belgian PM Alexander De Croo and Zelenskyy signed a long-term bilateral cooperation agreement on security.
Zelenskyy secured a similar agreement with Spain during his visit on May 27. His trips to Spain and Portugal had to be postponed on May 15 as the situation on the battlefield in Ukraine worsened dramatically in the wake of Russian offensive in Kharkiv Oblast.
