The United States and the United Kingdom have pledged to supply Ukraine with a small number of missile launchers to counter Russia's destructive power.
But Ukraine needs more weapons and is still well advanced in weapons. US Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin will chair a meeting in Brussels of a larger contact group of more than 50 states devoted to helping Ukraine understand what could become more.
Ukrainian Defence Minister will also attend the meeting as a sign of solidarity. NATO ministers will also discuss Sweden and Finland's application for their NATO membership.
