Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky arrived Wednesday in Lithuania ahead of visits to Estonia and Latvia, as Ukraine seeks more help to bolster its air defenses.
The focus of the Baltic trip, Zelensky said on his official Telegram channel, will be security concerns, Ukraine’s hopes to join the EU and NATO, and to build ties in drone production and electronic war capacities.
