EU extends Russia sanctions after border strike as fighting continues
The EU extended sanctions against Russia following a missile strike near Poland, as cross-border fighting and diplomatic developments continued.
The European Union has extended sanctions against Russia following a missile strike on a train near the Ukrainian-Polish border. EU High Representative Kaja Kallas and French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot condemned the incident, stating it aimed to "intimidate and divide" European nations.
Simultaneously, military engagements persist across the region. Local authorities in Ukraine's Kherson region reported two fatalities and 14 injuries caused by Russian shelling. Russian officials stated that seven people sustained injuries in Ukrainian drone attacks targeting Belgorod and Sochi.
The ongoing clashes coincide with claims from U.S. President Donald Trump that Kyiv and Moscow agreed to pause strikes against energy targets. In domestic developments, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky officially dismissed the country's prosecutor general by decree.
