Poland Urges U.S. to Resume Arms Deliveries to Ukraine After Consulate Hit
Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski has called on U.S. Presidential Envoy Keith Kellogg to restart arms supplies to Ukraine following the damage to Poland’s consular office in Kyiv caused by a Russian strike on July 4.
The Gaze reports this, referring to The Telegraph.
According to the outlet, Sikorski immediately phoned Kellogg after learning of the attack on the Polish embassy’s consular section.
“Putin is mocking your peace efforts,” Sikorski reportedly told the U.S. general. “Please restore supplies of anti-aircraft ammunition to Ukraine.”
Sources indicate that news of the strike on the Polish embassy had the greatest impact on Kellogg during the call.
Shortly after speaking with Sikorski, the U.S. envoy contacted President Donald Trump. After extending Independence Day greetings, Kellogg briefed Trump on the latest Russian attack on Kyiv and the fact that a NATO ally’s embassy had come under fire.
Discussions then took place over the risks and potential benefits of expanding arms deliveries, including U.S. air-defense missile systems and interceptors.
Following the conversation, Trump instructed Kellogg to reach out to U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and to resume weapons shipments to Kyiv, including some PAC-3 systems that had been temporarily placed on hold.
Sikorski also stressed that Ukraine is in urgent need of additional air-defense systems to repel Russian attacks.
As The Gaze reported earlier, the July 4 overnight assault, which primarily targeted Kyiv, damaged the Polish consulate’s facilities.
