EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas has urged Ukraine’s supporters to increase their backing after reported strikes near a Warsaw-bound passenger train close to Ukraine’s border with Poland.

Kallas said the reported strikes were intended to frighten Western countries away from supporting Ukraine or travelling there to demonstrate solidarity. She called on Kyiv’s backers to do “the opposite”.
