The EU has extended sanctions on Russia after a missile attack near the Polish border, as fighting persists despite claims of an energy strike pause.

The European Union has extended sanctions against Russia following a missile strike on a train near the Ukrainian border with Poland. EU High Representative Kaja Kallas and French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot condemned the attack, stating it aimed to intimidate European partners and create divisions within the bloc.

Hostilities persist despite claims by U.S. President Donald Trump that Russia and Ukraine agreed to cease targeting energy infrastructure. Recent Russian shelling in Ukraine's Kherson region killed two people and injured 14 others. In Russia, local officials reported seven people were wounded by Ukrainian drone strikes in the Belgorod region and the coastal city of Sochi.

Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky signed a decree dismissing the country's prosecutor general.
