British Foreign Secretary David Cameron said at a joint press conference with his German counterpart Anabella Burbock that  he does not want to "play into the hands of any Russian narratives about differences between allies. 

He said there was "incredible unity" among the allies and in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.

In turn, Burbank said that Ukraine's allies will not allow the Russian president to intimidate them and sow discord.

"If we have different opinions, we will discuss it behind closed doors. Because we will not allow Putin to divide us, no matter what other means and methods he uses," Burbank emphasized.

Addendum

Russia intercepted a conversation between German officers regarding what Russian media claimed was  the supply of weapons to Ukraine. 

John Kirby, Strategic Communications Coordinator for the US National Security Council at the White House, commenting on the leak scandal, said that the Russians want to sow division and discord and are trying to create a false impression that the West is divided.
