British Prime Minister Boris Johnson will embark on a one-day diplomatic tour with stops in Poland and NATO headquarters in Brussels amid tensions over the security situation in Europe as Russia amasses tens of thousands of troops on its border with Ukraine.
NATO said in a statement on February 9 that Johnson will visit Brussels on February 10 to talk with Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg. A news conference with the two leaders is planned for 10:45 a.m. local time.
A Polish Foreign Ministry spokesman said separately that Johnson, together with Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, will meet with British soldiers stationed in Poland, and then hold talks with President Andrzej Duda on February 10.
Johnson's office did not immediately confirm either of the visits.
Britain said on February 7 that it would send an additional 350 soldiers to Poland, a fellow NATO member, after deploying 100 troops there last year during a migrant crisis at the border with Belarus.
