The UK will stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Ukraine in the face of Russian aggression, UK Defence Secretary Michael Fallon has pledged.

Mr Fallon is on a two-day visit to Ukraine, where he also promised that Britain will train another 1,000 Ukrainian soldiers.

He made the announcement in the Zhytomyr region as he watched a military exercise, from where the BBC's David Stern reports.
