The "14.5 x 114 mm" round is just the good ol' .50-cal round for the venerable (since WWII) M2 heavy machine gun.

FUENTES DE ANDALUCIA — A peaceful white-walled village in southern Spain has changed its name to Ukraine in solidarity with those caught up in the conflict more than 4,000 km (2,500 miles) away.
On a sign at a roundabout at the village’s entrance, Ukraine has replaced Fuentes de Andalucia and the country’s blue and yellow flag has been painted alongside.
Streets have been renamed City of Kyiv, Odesa and Mariupol in the village of more than 7,100 inhabitants east of Seville.
“The main objective is to raise awareness about the conflict in Ukraine but also about where countries are at war in current times,” Francisco Martinez told Reuters as he stood in City of Kiev street.
Martinez said the name change was more than a gesture and villagers had also raised 3,500 euros ($3,780) within two days towards a planned refugee center. The village wants to offer homes to up to 25 refugees at the center or with families.
Rafael Osuna, 68, a pensioner, said he would take a Ukrainian couple into his house.
“The people of Fuentes are very proud of what we are doing,” he said. “As I live alone and have a big house I have thought of taking in a Ukrainian couple for a while.” ($1 = 0.9254 euros) (Reporting by Graham Keeley, additional reporting Jon Nazca, Catherine Macdonald, Editing by Angus MacSwan)

That means they've been there for a couple weeks already and ready to deploy.
I wonder if they got the fire out on the Moskva?
I've been kinda noticing that announcements are about a week after deployments, which is smart
It's a comfort announcement to appease the couch generals. It's not a threat to Russia or a boost for Ukraine, its just for the TV watching shlubs.
It took 16hrs for Cdn/US big box media to say the Moskva was sunk when France 24 had already said it was sunk and the tactic used to sink it was just an hour after the incident.
Can't control the narrative in real time
Anyhow
