Germany has announced it is to provide Ukraine with additional military aid worth more than €2.7 billion, including tanks, anti-aircraft systems and ammunition.

The announcement came as preparations were under way in Berlin for a possible first visit to Germany by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy since Russia invaded his country last year.
