US President Joe Biden said it is important for Ukraine’s Western allies to “sustain our resolve” in supporting the country as he held meetings on Friday with European partners.

Mr Biden met Chancellor Olaf Scholz of Germany, Ukraine’s second-biggest military supplier after the US. They were joined by French President Emmanuel Macron and UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer for discussions that were also addressing the conflict in the Middle East.
