EU extends Russia sanctions as strikes continue in Ukraine and border regions
EU renews Russia sanctions after a train strike near the Polish border, as shelling in Kherson and drone attacks in Russia cause casualties.
The European Union has renewed its sanctions against Russia following a missile strike on a train near the Ukrainian-Polish border. EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas and French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot accused Moscow of attempting to divide European allies through the attack.
Meanwhile, military engagements persist across the conflict zone. Ukrainian officials reported two fatalities and 14 injuries from shelling in the Kherson region, while Russian authorities claimed seven people were wounded by drone strikes in Sochi and Belgorod.
In diplomatic developments, U.S. President Donald Trump claimed both Moscow and Kyiv agreed to suspend attacks on energy infrastructure. Additionally, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky issued a decree dismissing the nation's prosecutor general.
