The plane carrying Zelensky took off at 9:02 pm from Lisbon, where it had landed at 2:50 pm, after the Ukrainian head of state had been in Brussels during the morning and in Madrid on Monday.
Zelensky was received at Figo Maduro military airfield by his Portuguese counterpart, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, and by the prime minister, Luís Montenegro.
During the visit, Zelensky signed a cooperation and security agreement with Montenegro between Portugal and Ukraine - the scene of a war with Russia since February 2022 -, for a period of ten years, under the terms of which Portugal undertakes to provide Kiev with military support this year worth at least 126 million euros, including financial and in-kind contributions.
The agreement also emphasises that "Portugal will contribute additional military support to Ukraine, including that to be agreed within the framework of the European Union, NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization, Western defence bloc) and other relevant international 'fora'."
