Rishi Sunak and Kamala Harris argued that the UK and US’s responses to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine showed the depth of their alliance.
The prime minister met the vice president for the first time yesterday at the Munich Security Conference, where Ms Harris said the UK was “among our greatest of allies”.
Their meeting follows speeches by both leaders at the German summit, where they stressed continued support for Kyiv.
A Downing Street spokesperson said: “They agreed that Putin’s war in Ukraine is a global war, both in terms of its impact on food and energy security and in terms of its implications for internationally accepted norms like sovereignty.
“The prime minister and vice president Harris condemned those countries who have supported Putin’s efforts politically and militarily.”
Rishi Sunak also met with leaders of the European Union, Germany, Poland, Sweden and Finland.
He told German Chancellor Olaf Scholz the West needed to think about “strengthening Ukraine’s long-term defences”.
Discussions then followed with the European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, covering Kyiv’s struggle and issues with the Northern Ireland Protocol.
Mr Sunak later confirmed the UK would support any allies that were ready to send fighter jets to Kyiv.
