UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson allegedly told his cabinet on Tuesday that he wants to provide Ukraine with "more lethal" military aid to help the country repel the Russian attack,
The Times reported on Wednesday, citing a government source.
Western countries have been urgently supplying Ukraine with weapons after Moscow launched its military campaign on February 24. Kiev, however, has repeatedly asked for more aid, arguing that the current level of support is not enough.
Admiral Tony Radakin, the chief of the Defense Staff, was said to have stated at the same meeting that the UK was moving to a "new phase" of its support for Ukraine.
