Western leaders have descended on Kyiv to mark the second anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and Italian Premier Giorgia Meloni joined others in travelling to Kyiv by train on Friday night.
The foreign leaders were in Ukraine to express solidarity with the country, while prime minister Rishi Sunak said the UK would back Kyiv "until they prevail" and King Charles praised Ukraine's "determination and strength".
President Volodymyr Zelensky’s troops continue to defend the country against Vladimir Putin's Russia, but Ukrainian forces are running low on ammunition and weaponry.
