<h6><strong>The Diplomat</strong></h6> <h4><strong>The Minister of Defense, Margarita Robles, presided over a tribute to the fallen on Friday, coinciding with the third anniversary of the war in Ukraine, in which she asked, once again, for “a fair and lasting peace” in which “Ukraine and the Ukrainians are involved.”</strong></h4> “Ukraine deserves a fair and lasting peace,” declared Margarita Robles during the tribute to the fallen, civilians and military, in Ukraine, held at the Infantry Academy in Toledo, according to the Ministry of Defense in a press release. The tribute coincided with the twenty-seventh training module for Ukrainian combatants within the EUMAM mission, through which nearly 7,500 Ukrainian soldiers are receiving training, in different disciplines, in Spain. Furthermore, “Spain has become a second home for thousands of refugees and, here, they have also found medical support for those wounded in the war,” continued Robles, who had a special memory for the deceased. “The best tribute we can pay them is to help achieve this peace in which Ukraine and the Ukrainians intervene,” she warned. The Minister of Defense insisted that “Spain and the European Union will continue to be on the right side,” because “this war only has one culprit”: the Russian president, Vladimir Putin. The tribute ceremony was attended by the Government delegate in Castilla-La Mancha, Milagros Tolón; the Secretary General of Defense Policy, Admiral Juan Francisco Martínez Núñez; Brigadier General Antonio Bernal Martín, director of the ‘Toledo Training Coordination Center’, and the Ukrainian military attaché in Spain, Serhii Vtorykh, among others.
