Boris Johnson will hold a series of meetings with Nordic and Baltic leaders in a bid to bolster European resilience following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

The Prime Minister will host a summit of the Joint Expeditionary Force (JEF) in London this week, where he will urge leaders to work together to ensure no further nations fall victim to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s aggression, No 10 said.

The northern European security coalition includes the UK, Denmark, Finland, Estonia, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Sweden and Norway.

Downing Street said the group will discuss the immediate crisis in Ukraine, as well as how they can help the country “rebuild again after war”.
