First Minister Mark Drakeford visits Brussels amid Ukraine crisis

Mark Drakeford is visiting Brussels on Wednesday to meet with diplomats amid mounting concerns over Russia's invasion of the Ukraine.

Wales' First Minister is in the Belgian capital for a series of meetings as part of a programme of Welsh Government events being held this week to celebrate St David’s Day and to reaffirm Wales’ relationships with European nations and regions.
