Baltic states displeased over exclusion from Ukraine summit in London — media

Sky News reported the information, citing a source in European diplomatic circles.

"We are truly very unhappy with a refusal to invite the Baltic leaders," the source said.

The source, with knowledge of the situation, warned that Moscow would notice with interest that Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia have been excluded.

The media source also pointed out that among the invited were the leaders of Norway, Finland, Sweden and Poland, although Helsinki and Warsaw have both publicly ruled out contributing troops to an international security force in Ukraine.

“All three Balts are among the highest supporters for Ukraine in terms of percentage of GDP and capabilities provided. All decisions directly impact our security. Like another pact to divide Europe or take us for granted. Shameful,” the outlet quoted the source.

• UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, after meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump in Washington, convened the leaders of more than a dozen European countries for a summit in the UK on March 2 to discuss Russia's war against Ukraine and broader European security. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is also to attend.
