Last month, Sanchez told Zelenskiy that Spain would back Ukraine until "a just and lasting peace" was achieved in its war with Russia, now in its fourth year.
According to El Pais newspaper, Zelenskiy will visit Madrid's Reina Sofia Museum, which houses Picasso's 1937 painting "Guernica", depicting the horrors of war.
Spain signed a 10-year bilateral security and defence agreement with Ukraine in May 2024, during Zelenskiy's last visit.
