As Russia's unprovoked war in Ukraine enters its second month, NATO leaders have approved major troop increases to protect eastern countries, as well as more military assistance for Kyiv.

After the failure of their initial invasion to make significant headway, Vladimir Putin's forces have resorted to bombarding towns and cities from distance, causing massive death and destruction. 

Amid Europe's worst refugee crisis since World War II, millions of Ukrainians have fled their homes to safer parts of the country, or abroad.

See below for a summary of developments on the day leaders met in Brussels. Watch our special TV coverage — including from Lviv in Ukraine — in the video player above.
