ℹ️: Russia's massive attack on the Odessa region today was likely more than just strategy—it was also about sending a message to the west.

- Former U.S diplomat Keith Kellogg arrived in Odessa earlier in the day and spoke to Ukrainian officials about the current logistical crisis in the region.
- Yahoo News reports that Kellogg and the Ukrainians specifically held conversations about port and railway infrastructure.
- Referencing previous instances where Kellogg's presence deterred Russian strikes, media giant MSN posed the question: "Will Kellogg once again serve as Ukraine's air defense this time?"
- The answer was no. On the 22nd of August, one of the largest Russian attacks on the Odessa region took place. The cruel irony of it is, the Russians struck port and railway infrastructure (Video), sending a clear message to Kellogg and the world that Russia has no plans to stop its strikes on Ukrainian logistics.
