One official said he hoped the deal would be confirmed on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly, the report said.
The UNGA High-Level Week will take place from 24 to 30 September.
A meeting between US President Joseph Biden and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is scheduled to take place today.
As US Secretary of State Antony Blinken reported, Biden intends to discuss with Starmer approval of strikes against Russia.
Russian President Vladimir Putin said yesterday that the countries of the North Atlantic Alliance are now discussing not just the possibility of the Ukrainian Armed Forces using Western long-range weapons, but direct participation in the conflict in Ukraine.
Putin noted that the Ukrainian Armed Forces are already launching strikes against the Russian Federation using drones and other means, but the use of high-precision long-range weapons is only possible with the participation of NATO troops.
The Russian President stressed that approval of strikes against Russia would significantly change the essence of the conflict and would mean that NATO countries are at war with Russia.
