Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has cancelled a visit to Spain and Portugal, authorities said on Wednesday, with CNN Portugal and other media reporting it was because of renewed fighting in his country.
King Felipe of Spain has been due to hold a reception for Zelenskiy on May 17 and host a meal in his honour.
Zelenskiy had also been expected to sign a bilateral security cooperation agreement with Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez following a joint declaration by NATO last year.
A spokesperson for the Portuguese government said the Ukraine president had cancelled the visit but did not give a reason.
