President Barack Obama will stop in Estonia while in Europe to show support for NATO allies in the Baltic region who are concerned over Russia's aggressive moves against Ukraine.
It's believed at least 1,000 Russian soldiers are fighting with rebels inside Ukraine, causing Ukrainian leaders to put pressure on NATO and the United States for a stronger response.
Although the president expressed support for diplomatic instead of military action, others are pushing to provide arms to the Ukrainian government.
"If you are being invaded by Russia, you have to be able to defend yourself," Sen. Robert Menendez, D-N.J., chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said.
