U.S. President Joe Biden arrived in Brussels Wednesday night for an urgent NATO summit on Russia's invasion of Ukraine, during which he will meet with NATO and European allies and is expected to announce a new round of sanctions against Russia.

At a news conference Wednesday in Brussels, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said that Russia's war on Ukraine presented "a new normal for our security" and that alliance leaders were likely to announce more support for Ukraine at Thursday's NATO summit.

NATO leaders are also set to announce an agreement to address nuclear, chemical and other threats from Russia, Stoltenberg said.

"I expect allies will agree to provide additional support, including cybersecurity assistance as well as equipment to help Ukraine protect against chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear threats," he said.

Expected to virtually address Thursday's NATO summit is Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who says he is expecting Western leaders to both add to their Russian sanctions and pledge more aid for Ukraine.

Meanwhile, shelling continued Wednesday in Kyiv, injuring four people. In the city of Chernihiv, Russian forces destroyed a bridge that had been used for evacuating civilians and delivering aid.

The United Nations says more than 3.6 million refugees have fled Ukraine since Russia launched its invasion one month ago. Another 6.5 million people have been displaced inside the country.
