Vilnius, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 10th Jan, 2024) Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky arrived on Wednesday morning in the Lithuanian capital for an unannounced visit to the Baltic states, staunch allies of the war-torn country.
The three Baltic states -- all former Soviet republics which are now EU and NATO members -- are among Ukraine's staunchest allies.
"Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania are our reliable friends and principled partners. Today, I arrived in Vilnius before going to Tallinn and Riga," Zelensky said on social media platform X, formerly Twitter.
"Security, EU and NATO integration, cooperation on electronic warfare and drones, and further coordination of European support are all on the agenda," he said.
The Baltic tour marks Zelensky's first official trip abroad this year.
In Lithuania, a key donor to Ukraine, Zelensky said he will hold talks with the president, prime minister and the speaker of parliament, and meet with the Ukrainian community.
The visit comes as other Kyiv allies waver on fresh aid, nearly two years into Russia's invasion.
