Use of a cell phone in Kyiv to cll the President, rather than using a secure phone in the embassy is surprising, and a security risk.
Last time I was in Kyiv I used a VPN the whole time, didn't make voice calls.

Sondland calling Trump on a cellphone from Kyiv is extraordinary for all sorts of reasons. Normally EU Ambos don’t call presidents. They never do so to discuss Ukraine policy. Doing so on a cellphone from Kyiv means whole world was listening in.
