The foreign ministers of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia are planning to visit Ukraine in the near future due to concerns over a possible Russian invasion.

According to Ukrinform, Delfi reported this, referring to Foreign Minister of Lithuania Gabrielius Landsbergis.

"We have tentatively agreed with our Baltic colleagues (...) on our possible visit (to Ukraine) in the near future," he said.

According to Landsbergis, if ministers from other EU and NATO countries joined such a visit, it would send a "very strong signal" and create a "political shield" that would help to buy time and delay a Russian attack if one is really planned.

As Ukrinform reported, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz paid a visit to Kyiv on Monday. As expected, Italian Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio, British Foreign Secretary Liz Truss and Marshal of the Polish Senate Marshal of the Polish Sejm Tomasz Grodzki will pay official visits to Ukraine this week.
