The Prince of Wales will make his first visit to Estonia at the end of next week to meet British troops providing a deterrent to Russian aggression in the region.
Prince William will travel in his role as colonel-in-chief of the Mercian Regiment to learn more about how British troops are bolstering Nato’s eastern flank, Kensington Palace said.
He will also carry out engagements in Estonia’s capital city Tallinn to see how the country, a Nato member, has responded to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and how it is innovating in renewable energy and technology.
News of the prince’s visit comes at a pivotal time for the war in Ukraine after the US prepares to present a proposed 30-day ceasefire to Russia.
