First, stepping into a gap left by the US at the group overseeing aid to Ukraine today,
Germany and Britain have announced big boosts in military support for Kiev.
The two countries are co-chairing the 27th Ukraine Contact Group in Brussels,
which was formally led by the United States.
The British government said it would give a further £350 million worth of military support for Kiev.
The money would help fund new drones and repairs to armoured vehicles.
In his opening remarks, Britain's Defence Secretary John Healy urged allies to take similar steps.
