Joe Biden is due to meet with Ukraine's foreign and defence ministers in Warsaw in the first face-to-face meeting between the US president and top Kyiv officials since Russia's invasion began.
Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba and Defence Minister Oleksii Reznikov will be making a rare trip out of Ukraine in a possible sign of growing confidence in the fightback against Russian forces.
- 'Russia fuelling arms race' -
Russia's "bragging" about its nuclear weapons is fuelling a dangerous arms race, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky tells the Doha Forum.
"They are bragging that they can destroy with nuclear weapons not only a certain country but the entire planet," Zelensky says.
- Russian minister resurfaces -
Russia's defence minister Sergei Shoigu reappears on television after a two-week absence from view prompted questions from journalists.
The defence ministry published a video showing Shoigu chairing a meeting on Russia's weapons budget.
No dates accompany the images on state television, but Shoigu refers to a finance ministry meeting that Russian news agencies reported took place on Friday.
- Zelensky seeks Qatar's help -
Ukraine's leader calls on Qatar to increase production of natural gas to counter Russian threats to use energy as a weapon.
"I ask you to increase the output of energy to ensure that everyone in Russia understands that no one can use energy as a weapon to blackmail the world," Zelensky says.
