It was early morning on July 4 when Gen Keith Kellogg’s phone was illuminated with a call from Poland. On the other end of the line was Radoslaw Sikorski, Poland’s foreign minister, with what could be one of the defining interventions of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

Following Russia’s attack on Kyiv during the night of 3-4 July, which damaged the consular section of Poland’s embassy, Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski phoned US President’s special envoy Keith Kellogg and called for a resumption of arms supplies to Ukraine.

The barrage of exploding drones and missiles appeared to be the most intense attack since President Trump announced a plan to get more weapons for Kyiv.

Ukraine’s top military commander Gen. Oleksandr Syrsky called on President Trump to provide long-range missiles capable of attacking deep into Russia to cripple Moscow’s war machine.

As Trump demands a deal to end the Ukraine war in 50 days, Russia's deputy foreign minister says "demands, especially ultimatums, are unacceptable."
