The country’s government believes that the US is most likely to give the “green light” at the UN General Assembly in New York, although there are differences in the administration of President Joe Biden.
Foreign Secretary David Lammy said a “joint strategy” was needed among Western allies.
He said: “It is important that we, the allies who support Ukraine, have a common strategy to win in the future. We are currently discussing this with the United States and other key allies, but of course we are going to the UN General Assembly where we will all meet with Zelensky in a little less than 12 days.”
He said that “no war can be won with one weapon”, but added: “It is important that we support the Ukrainians so that they continue to fight back against Russia in the Black Sea, it is important that they are able to cope with the huge challenges in the air that are being thrown by Russia, and, of course, that we support them – and we do – in training their own men and women on the front lines. We want to put Ukraine in the strongest position in the future.”
