KYIV, Ukraine, July 2, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - Ukraine summoned the deputy chief of the US embassy in Kyiv to a meeting Wednesday and warned him any delays in US military aid to Ukraine would "encourage" Russia, the foreign ministry said.

"John Ginkel was invited to the Ukrainian foreign ministry... The Ukrainian side stressed that any delay or procrastination in supporting Ukraine's 
defence capabilities would only encourage the aggressor to continue the war," the ministry said in a statement.
