Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez started the presidency Saturday with a lightning visit to Kyiv to underline the bloc's support of Ukraine in the face of the Russian invasion.

Continued support for Ukraine, a migration pact, EU relations with Latin America and the reindustrialisation of Europe are among Spain's priorities for the six-month presidency.

The visit by the College of Commissioners was initially scheduled for July 6-7, but was brought forward so as not to take place in the middle of the campaign for Spain's general elections on July 23.

The Spanish government maintains the elections will not have an impact on the objectives or agenda of the presidency.

After the meeting, Sánchez and Von der Leyen were to hold a press conference, and then the commissioners will go to the nearby Royal Palace, where they will be received by King Felipe VI. (AP)
