The pledges could unlock more aid ahead of an expected escalation of fighting in the spring.
The news came as Ukraine’s military acknowledged that it had retreated from Soledar, a strategic eastern city that Russian forces had been fighting to capture in months of brutal trench warfare and artillery battles.
