Foreign Minister David Lammy said there is no evidence that Vladimir Putin would seek a peace agreement to finish his war in Ukraine.
Donald Trump said he could end the clash on January 21, the next day to the US President again.
But Mr. Lammy advised that this calendar now slips towards Easter.
“Of course, there will be a negotiation, however, in this position, for the moment, Putin’s habit does not recommend that he be able to negotiate,” said BBC radio minister.
“I see no evidence that Putin wants to come to the table to negotiate and bring this war to an end.”
“Therefore, we will have to be transparent that through this winter, we will have to continue with all the military, economic and humanitarian aid that needs. “
Russian military chiefs have launched a series of offensives on multiple fronts in eastern Ukraine in what appears to be an attempt by Putin to grab as much land as possible before Trump gets back into the White House.
Ukraine presented a new offensive in the Kursk region in Russia after taking a band in summer in a wonderful attack.
Russian troops are looking to bring Kursk in, with the help of North Korean infantrymen who would have suffered severe patients after being thrown into battle.
A state of emergency was also declared in the Russian city of Engels on Wednesday after a Ukrainian drone strike hit an oil depot that supplies Russia’s nuclear bomber planes.
But Putin’s army is gradually seizing more territory in eastern Ukraine.
Mr Lammy, however, insisted: “What we see in Ukraine is that many said they would lose the Kursk, they didn’t, many said Pokrovsk lost them, they didn’t, they didn’t, they have progressed, they progressed. In the Black Sea, Russia lost 45,000 soldiers, who died in November alone.
“They are facing high inflation, Putin has had to announce cuts before Christmas to their own welfare.
“So, let’s be clear Ukraine continues to fight valiantly and that’s why the British government has been absolutely clear that we stand with them, £3 billion in military spending for as long as it takes.”
He added that Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelensky had been open about the possibility of a peace deal but stressed that it would require security guarantees for his country.
In Ukraine, a Russian guided bomb attack on Wednesday killed at least 13 people and injured 113 in Ukraine’s southeastern city of Zaporizhzhia, authorities said.
The blast left bodies strewn across a road alongside injured residents. Public transport was also damaged in the strike.
Prosecutors increased the injury toll from 63 to 113 people on Thursday morning. Rescue work had been completed at the site of the attack the evening before.
The Ukrainian military said on Thursday that Russia launched a total of 70 drones at the country overnight.
Of those drones, Ukraine’s air force shot down 46, while 24 “imitator drones” did not reach their targets, the air force added.
The attack damaged private residences in three Ukrainian regions.
