The Baltic countries are "very unhappy" with the UK’s decision not to invite their leaders to the upcoming Ukraine summit in London. Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia were excluded from the event, Sky News reports.
"We are truly very unhappy with a refusal to invite the Baltic leaders," a source stated.
According to the source, the leaders of Norway, Finland, Sweden, and Poland were invited, even though both Helsinki and Warsaw have publicly ruled out sending troops for any international security force in Ukraine.
The source also claimed that the Baltic countries "have a plan… but [were] not invited."
"All three Balts are among the highest supporters for Ukraine in terms of percentage of GDP and capabilities provided," the source added.
It was further emphasized that "all decisions directly impact our security."
"Like another pact to divide Europe or take us for granted. Shameful," the source told Sky News.
