History

With the collapse of the Tsarist Empire in 1918, a Ukrainian nation-state emerged for the first time. The Kingdom of Spain recognized the Ukrainian state. Mykola Schrah was appointed Ukraine's first diplomatic representative in Spain in 1918. During the Russian Civil War, the Red Army conquered most of Ukraine, and it was incorporated into the Soviet Union as the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Ukraine declared itself independent in December 1991. Spain recognized Ukraine on December 31, 1991. Diplomatic relations were established on January 30, 1992, and the embassy in Madrid was opened in June 1995.[1] The first ambassador was Yuri Kostenko. Serhiy Pohorelzew has been the Ukrainian ambassador to Spain since 2020, following his first accreditation in 2012-2016.

Diplomatic relations with Andorra began in 2008. Ukraine became the seventh country to set up an honorary consulate in Andorra. The ambassadors in Madrid are accredited there as non-resident ambassadors.
