EU extends Russia sanctions as border strikes continue
The EU extended sanctions on Russia following a border strike, as fighting persisted in Kherson and Russian regions alongside claims of an energy attack halt.
The European Union has renewed sanctions against Russia following a missile attack targeting a train near the Ukrainian-Polish border. EU High Representative Kaja Kallas and French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot stated the strike was intended to intimidate and divide European nations.
On the ground, fighting continues to inflict civilian casualties. Ukrainian officials reported two deaths and 14 injuries from Russian shelling in the Kherson region. Conversely, Russian authorities claimed seven people were injured by Ukrainian drone strikes in Sochi and Belgorod.
The escalations occur as U.S. President Donald Trump claimed both nations agreed to halt attacks on energy infrastructure. Additionally, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky signed a decree dismissing the country's prosecutor general.
