A meeting of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization kicks off in Brussels, with the US-led defence alliance's foreign ministers set to discuss NATO's ongoing backing for Ukraine against Russia amid doubts over US support and a bloody stalemate on the ground.

Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky arrives with his wife Olena Zelenska to a working dinner at a NATO summit in Vilnius, where they are welcomed by Lithuania's President Gitanas Nauseda and his spouse Diana Nausediene.
