Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is visiting NATO headquarters in Brussels, where the alliance's defense ministers are meeting.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has arrived at NATO headquarters in Brussels for a meeting with alliance defense ministers aimed at mustering more support for Ukraine's defense against Russia's invasion.
The United States is hosting a gathering of the Ukraine contact group to channel more weapons and ammunition to the country.
It is expected that Kyiv will update the alliance on the types of weaponry that it most needs as the conflict draws into winter.
After the meeting, the 31 allies and Ukraine are set to take part in the first NATO-Ukraine Council at a defense-ministerial level.
The forum was formally established in July to allow NATO and Kyiv to discuss matters of common interest and concern.
A number of allies are expected to announce that they will be sending additional weapons and other support to Ukraine.
"A visit to NATO headquarters that will be critical to our resilience this winter," Zelenskiy said on the Telegram messaging app.
It is Zelenskyy's first visit to NATO's headquarters since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
The Ukrainian leader has also said he plans to hold talks with Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo.
