Leaders from the Ukraine Defense Contact Group are meeting virtually to discuss further military support for Kyiv, as it continues to defend against Russia's full-scale invasion.

At that meeting, Germany said it would help provide a total of five Patriot missile defense systems to Ukraine, after previously pledging to pay for two units.

The meeting was hours after Ukraine had launched major drone attacks on Russia overnight, sowing chaos at the country's airports.

Kyiv has increasingly targeted the Russian capital, launching at least 60 drones at Moscow over the weekend.

Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Ukraine and Russia will hold another round of talks on Wednesday.
