EU extends Russia sanctions following border train strike
The EU extended sanctions against Russia following a missile strike near the Polish border, as fighting continued across Ukraine and western Russia.
The European Union has officially extended its sanctions regime against Russia after a missile strike targeted a train close to the Ukrainian border with Poland. European Union diplomacy chief Kaja Kallas and French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot condemned the incident, stating the attack aimed to intimidate European partners and sow political division across the continent.
The diplomatic development comes amid ongoing military clashes, despite assertions from United States President Donald Trump that Moscow and Kyiv had agreed to pause strikes on energy infrastructure. In the Kherson region, Russian shelling killed two individuals and wounded 14 others. Meanwhile, Ukrainian drone operations in Russia's Sochi and Belgorod areas injured seven people.
Domestically, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky formally issued a presidential decree dismissing the nation's prosecutor general from his post.
