President Joe Biden is pitching for allies Japan and South Korea to do more to assist Ukraine as he meets with leaders of both countries on his trip to Asia – pushing for further support as Ukraine suffers defeat in Mariupol following a long Russian siege.

South Korea is one of the world's top arms exporters, and Japan is the world's third largest economy.
