EU diplomatic chief condemns Russian train strike near Polish border
EU officials condemned a Russian strike on a train near the Polish border as fighting continues across Ukraine and U.S. President Trump claims an energy targeting deal was reached.
European Union diplomatic chief Kaja Kallas and French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot have jointly condemned a recent Russian military strike targeting a train near the Ukrainian-Polish border. Both officials stated the attack was designed to intimidate European partners and create divisions among allies supporting Kyiv.
The incident occurred alongside ongoing hostilities across the region. Local authorities reported two fatalities and 14 injuries from Russian shelling in Ukraine's Kherson region, while Ukrainian drone strikes in Sochi and Belgorod left seven people wounded.
Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump claimed that Moscow and Kyiv reached an understanding to halt attacks on energy infrastructure. In Kyiv, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky formally dismissed the country's prosecutor general via decree, as the European Union extended its existing sanctions framework against Russia.
