Clashes persist in Ukraine as EU extends Moscow sanctions

Military actions persist across Ukraine and Russian border territories despite assertions by US President Donald Trump that both sides had consented to cease attacks on energy infrastructure. Recent Russian shelling in the Kherson region resulted in two deaths and left 14 people injured. Simultaneously, Ukrainian drone activity reportedly wounded seven individuals across Russia's Belgorod and Sochi regions.

Diplomatic pressure continues to escalate as the European Union renewed its sanctions package targeting Moscow. EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas and French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot condemned a Russian strike on a train near the border with Poland, characterizing the action as an attempt to divide and intimidate European nations. Meanwhile in Kyiv, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky formally removed the country's prosecutor general from office via executive decree.
