Lord Cameron has ruled out Western troops being sent into Ukraine to avoid giving Russian President Vladimir Putin "a target".
The foreign secretary acknowledged that the "war will be lost if the allies don't step up" on the BBC's Ukrainecast podcast.
But asked whether Western nations should send troops into Ukraine, Lord Cameron replied "no".
He added Nato must be in the "best possible shape" by the US elections.
Lord Cameron was speaking at a two-day North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (Nato) summit of 32 foreign ministers in Brussels.
Nato boss Jens Stoltenberg has floated plans for a 100 billion euro (£86bn), five-year package of military aid to Ukraine, with the aim of finalising a package in time for the next summit in Washington in July.
The move is aimed at allaying concerns around the outcome of the US election in November, with candidate Donald Trump suggesting the US could cut support, and claiming some Nato members were not paying their way.
One diplomat, quoted by the Reuters news agency, suggested the package "goes some way to protecting in case of Trump. But it is impossible to create something Trump-proof".
Lord Cameron said he'd be making his second visit to the United States since becoming foreign secretary next week and would be urging Congress to give more financial support, which "could change the narrative" in Ukraine.
Nato would have to work with whoever wins this year's US election, he said, so now was the time to get into "the best possible shape by November" - alluding to complaints from candidate Mr Trump.

So, NATO is choosing to pursue the European war in whatever way best benefits Joe Biden?

Thank you
The MTG wing of the House GOP will make sure that the US does not step up. They like having blood on their hands, makes them feel like real Democrats.
Another greasy POS from Perfidious Albion.
Given current recruitment philosophies, we are more likely to see Birkenstocks on the ground.
