Foreign Secretary Liz Truss will meet counterparts from the Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania as part of the UK’s effort to demonstrate support for eastern Nato allies.
The meeting in Lithuania is part of the diplomatic response to Vladimir Putin’s war on Ukraine.
Ms Truss will use a speech alongside her fellow ministers to set out the UK’s support for Ukraine and demonstrate the unity of Nato.
She will say: “The United Kingdom stands with our allies in doing all we can to support Ukraine against President Putin’s war of choice.
“Together with our Baltic allies, we are reinforcing Nato’s eastern flank. We are stepping up to support Ukraine economically and defensively, while also providing emergency humanitarian aid.
“By continuing to respond with strength, united with our allies, we will ensure President Putin’s ambitions end in failure.”
Ms Truss will hold talks with Estonian foreign minister Eva-Maria Liimets, Latvia’s Edgars Rinkevics and Lithuania’s Gabrielius Landsbergis.
She will also meet UK military personnel from the Army Air Corps and 18 Squadron, Royal Air Force, who are currently deployed in Lithuania as part of a US-led exercise.
