The imposter, pretending to be former president Petro Poroshenko, can be heard saying in the casual video call published by website Guido Fawkes that not sending Ukraine an invitation to NATO is a "bad signal".
In response, Lord Cameron says: "There's not going to be an invitation because America won't support one.
"So what I've said to the president, (Volodymyr) Zelensky, is: let's try and get the best language we can about NATO support for Ukraine. But don't, let's not, we mustn't have an argument between NATO and Ukraine before the summit."

Asked by the imposter if he believes anything will change after the General Election, Lord Cameron says Labour has been "as enthusiastic" in their support for Ukraine as the Conservatives.
He said: "I don't think you'll see change. Obviously, if they win, it will be a new government, there will be some getting up to speed on some issues, but I think fundamentally they've supported everything we've done.
"I think the Labour Party, if they win, will continue that approach."
Asked about his engagement with former US president and current presidential candidate Donald Trump, Lord Cameron says the Republican would want to "back the winning side" in Ukraine but his attitude is "hard to predict".

He says: "I had dinner with (Trump) and my aim was to convince him not to block money for Ukraine, because obviously the speaker, Mike Johnson, wanted two things: he wanted to vote the money for Ukraine but he also wanted to keep his job, and I thought it was important to try to make sure that Trump backed him sufficiently to do that, which is what happened in the end."
He adds: "I think ultimately (Trump) will calculate at the time what's right for him.

"I think the key thing is if we can make sure that Ukraine is on the front foot and Putin is on the back foot by November, then he will want to support the winning side, as it were, and that's what we've got to ensure.
