Ukraine just received a massive shipment of weapons from Spain.

The Ukrainians found Spanish sausages among the boxes with grenade launchers and a postcard saying: “I wish you victory! With love, Leticia”.

It took them a moment to understand that it was from the Queen of Spain.

3. The queen of Spain has that kind of military power?

I’m just glad she’s not a modern day super villain.

6. Am sure she is a figurehead.

But figureheads can also root for Ukraine, with a side of sausages!!

15. I don't think a shipping clerk will tell her "no you can't do that".

She was just telling them where to aim those weapons.

9. A little about the queen of Spain

Letizia Ortiz Rocasolano (Spanish pronunciation: [leˈtiθja oɾˈtiθ]; born 15 September 1972) is Queen of Spain as the wife of King Felipe VI.

She came from a middle-class family and worked as a journalist for ABC and EFE before becoming a news anchor at CNN+ and Televisión Española. In 2004, she married Felipe, then Prince of Asturias and heir apparent to the Spanish throne.

Their daughters, Leonor and Sofía, were born in 2005 and 2007 respectively.

Googling around, it looks like they've made multiple shipments since then, too.

14. Queen Letizia of Spain is wearing a vyshyvanka, a traditional Ukrainian embroidered blouse.

Queen Letizia attended an event at the Mutua Madrileña Foundation in Madrid. Along with her black pants and heels, Letizia wore a vyshyvanka to the ceremony, coming on the eighth day of Russia’s violent invasion of Ukraine.
