Spain to participate in new NATO initiative on alliance’s eastern flank

 Spain will join a NATO initiative to strengthen the alliance's positions on its eastern flank, Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez reported.

"Spain will contribute its air assets to the new security mechanism that NATO will deploy on the eastern flank of Europe," the prime minister wrote on his X page.

 "These assets will join those already in place in Latvia, Lithuania, and other countries and will remain there for as long as necessary," Sanchez added.
