  "account": "Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky embarked on an unexpected trip to Madrid on Wednesday, aiming to secure additional military assistance against Russia during a summit of Latin American leaders hosted by Spain. The Ibero-American Community, comprising 22 nations primarily in Latin America, has been divided in its support for Ukraine since Russia's 2022 invasion. Following the summit's conclusion on Thursday, Zelensky intends to converse with Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez and several leaders regarding Ukraine's current circumstances, its global impact, and the main challenges for international peace and security. Zelensky shared his priority on social media, emphasizing the strengthening of Ukraine's air defenses and the expansion of defense cooperation and production. Additional support measures, though not specified by the president, were under development. The summit also gathered far-right presidents from Argentina (Javier Milei) and Chile (Jose Antonio Kast) alongside Bolivian conservative Rodrigo Paz. King Felipe VI of Spain hosted Zelensky at his Zarzuela residence outside Madrid. The summit follows Ukraine, Russia, and the United States confirming negotiations in Abu Dhabi on November 10-11 for the first talks since February. Simultaneously, delegations from Ukraine, Germany, France, Britain, the US, NATO, and the World Bank convened in Brussels to deliberate on Ukraine's post-war reconstruction.",
