Kyiv says Zelenskyy called for 'pre-emptive sanctions' not a strike against Russia; the White House plays down Biden's warning about Moscow's nuclear threat — and other key developments.
US President Joe Biden says a Russian attack on Ukraine remains "very much" a possibility, but that a diplomatic solution to the crisis could yet be reached.
Ukraine, sanctions against Russia, China and economic security are also expected to be discussed by the two leaders.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and US President Joe Biden vowed to maintain pressure on Russia, as the white house announced €376 million to Ukraine.
Members of the G7 reaffirmed their commitment to Ukraine and the war of aggression it is fighting. All seven countries pledged to continue to support Kyiv financially and with arms, while continuing on the path of sanctions against Moscow.
