At a time when Kyiv was under the heaviest shelling since the beginning of the war, the initiative of Donald Trump's adviser, General Keith Kellogg, marked the beginning of a dramatic turnaround in US policy in Ukraine.

Axar.az reports that the British newspaper "The Telegraph" wrote about this.

"On July 4, Kellogg received a call from Poland. It was from the Polish Foreign Minister, Radoslaw Sikorski. After this call, General Kellogg urged Trump to resume the supply of anti-aircraft ammunition to Ukraine. That night, Russian missiles and drones damaged the Polish consulate in Kyiv, and this incident became a turning point in the White House's relationship with Ukraine.

Shortly after the phone call with Kellogg, Trump personally ordered the Pentagon to unblock the Patriot systems and contact Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who had stopped military aid to Ukraine even without the permission of the White House," the report said.

The publication reported that in a conversation with President Volodymyr Zelensky that day, Trump also promised to provide air defense support to Ukraine:

“This signal was a turning point. In Washington, it was seen as a recognition of the need to strengthen the US role in the conflict to achieve a peace agreement. Within nine days, Trump, with the support of NATO allies, announced a new $10 billion aid package. With the help of German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, the agreement included the purchase and deployment of new Patriot systems to Ukraine, part of which was paid for by Germany and Norway.”
