President Joe Biden has told fellow Indo-Pacific leaders assembled for a four-country summit that they are navigating “a dark hour in our shared history” due to Russia’s war on Ukraine and urged the group to make a greater effort to stop Vladimir Putin’s aggression.

“This is more than just a European issue. It’s a global issue,” Mr Biden said as the “Quad” summit with Japan, Australia and India got under way.
