They convinced Trump to help Ukraine. The media reported an important call from Poland.

A single phone call from Poland allegedly influenced Donald Trump to send Patriot systems to Ukraine. The British newspaper The Telegraph reports that after the largest shelling of Kyiv since the beginning of the Russian invasion, Trump advisor Gen. Keith Kellogg had a phone conversation with Radosław Sikorski that initiated a shift in American policy towards Ukraine.

According to media reports, on July 4, Kellogg received a call from Poland. It was from Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski . After the call, General Kellogg appealed to Trump to restore missile deliveries to Ukraine.

That night, Russian missiles and drones struck the Polish consulate in Kyiv . This event, according to media reports, was to become a turning point in the White House's approach.
