UK Foreign Secretary David Cameron will visit Washington on Wednesday, 6 December as part of his first visit to the United States since taking office last month.

As reported by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), Cameron will participate in discussions with his American counterparts focusing on supporting Ukraine in its fight against Russian aggression, the statement said.

The minister is expected to hold bilateral meetings with Antony Blinken, US Secretary of State, and meet with members of Congress from the Republican and Democratic parties.

In Washington, Cameron will also work on de-escalating tensions in the Middle East, the FCDO said in a statement.

Earlier, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg stressed that the allies should continue to support Ukraine in the war unleashed by the Russian Federation.

Before that, Pentagon chief Lloyd Austin said that the United States would not allow Russian President Vladimir Putin to win the war he unleashed against Ukraine, or allow Hamas to win the conflict against Israel.

At the same time, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said that NATO members remain determined to continue to support Ukraine in its fight against Russian aggression.

In addition, Ukrainian Minister of Foreign Affairs Dmytro Kuleba stated that NATO countries are not showing any signs of fatigue from Russia’s war against Ukraine.
