Zelenskyy, speaking to the My-Ukraina television channel after the latest gathering in Germany, gave very few details but claimed that 34 countries had pledged support, as the third anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine looms. 

"We had a very good meeting, a very good result. There was $2 billion in additional packages of support to Ukraine," he said in a video posted on the television channel's Telegram account. 

The aid will cover air defense, information technology, demining, naval forces, air forces and artillery, he claimed. 

"And all this will strengthen Ukraine," Zelenskyy said. 

The president did not disclose which countries had made the pledges. 

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken had earlier said that Washington would provide Ukraine with an additional $500 million in military aid, including air defense missiles, air-to-ground munitions and support equipment for F-16 fighter jets. 

After the meeting at the Ramstein Air Base in Germany, Zelenskyy met Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni in Rome, where he said he discussed upgrading Ukraine's air defenses against Russian attacks and efforts to form a united position on resolving the war.
