The EU extended sanctions on Russia after a border train attack, while Trump claimed Kyiv and Moscow agreed to pause energy strikes.

The European Union has extended sanctions against Russia following a military strike on a train near the Ukrainian-Polish border. European foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas and French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot condemned the attack, describing it as an attempt by Moscow to intimidate and create division among European nations.

Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump announced that both Kyiv and Moscow have agreed to halt attacks against energy infrastructure. In Kyiv, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky issued an executive decree dismissing the country's prosecutor general.

Active fighting continues along the frontlines. Local authorities in Kherson reported that Russian shelling killed two people and wounded 14 others. Concurrently, drone strikes targeting Russia's Belgorod and Sochi regions reportedly left seven people injured.
