US President Joe Biden said he and other Nato leaders showed the world that the military alliance remains “more united than ever,” as he ended a trip to Europe meant to demonstrate the force of the international coalition against Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

The allies “understand that this fight is not only a fight for the future of Ukraine”, Mr Biden said, noting that it is also about sovereignty and security.
