Meanwhile, the UK government has announced it is to provide an extra £1bn of military support to Ukraine. It brings the total UK military support since the outbreak of war to £2.3bn - more than any country other than the US.
Posting on social media, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy thanked the UK for the additional funds, posting:"I am grateful to the United Kingdom's Prime Minister Boris Johnson for allocating an additional £1 billion for security assistance to Ukraine. The UK currently spends around 2% of its GDP on defence, matching the target NATO sets for its members, but the defence secretary has urged the PM to increase spending on the UK's armed forces in response to the war.
