You forgot to mention that some of the people behind the catalonian independence movement met with Russians who even offered military support if they went ahead with a proclamation of independency. I think we should all move on from that bizarre situation.

... and the currently in power party in Spain, while they have publicly condemned Russia's invasion of Ukraine, also argues passionately against EU sanctions against Russia, and has consistently increased LNG imports from Russia (meaning already years ago, it's not a reaction to the Hormuz situation)

Oh and both are pro-China too. I guess they're trying to open the next huge can of worms preemptively. Why wait?

So, yeah, I doubt Ukraine is happy with either side in this conflict, and Catalunya separatists are a somewhat more desperate than Madrid. Doesn't really change anything about the conflict.
