Ukrainian president meets Nordic and Baltic leaders as Karol Nawrocki is to meet US president at the White House
After a heavy night of Russian attacks in Ukraine, it’s another busy day for European diplomacy as leaders seek new ways to pressure Russia into engaging with the peace process and are confronted with a new geopolitical reality.
Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelenskyy is in Denmark, meeting with the Nordic and the Baltic leaders (the so-called NB8) to discuss further support for his country, while Poland’s president Karol Nawrocki is about to make his debut appearance on the international stage visiting US president Donald Trump at the White House.
We should hear from all of them this afternoon.
But then Slovak prime minister Robert Fico is in Beijing, where – fresh from meeting one-on-one with Russian president Vladimir Putin and talking about the need for “standardisation” of their bilateral relations – he joined a massive military parade intended to show China’s military might.
