The Netherlands has committed $500 million, Denmark, Norway and Sweden have jointly pledged $500 million, and Germany has promised a further $500 million.
President Zelensky also planned to meet with U.K. Prime Minister Kier Starmer on Thursday for private talks.
Starmer had earlier stressed that Ukraine's "territorial integrity" must be protected and international borders "must not be changed by force".
