EU extends Russia sanctions following strike near Polish border

The European Union has prolonged sanctions against Russia following a military strike on a train close to the Ukrainian-Polish border. EU Foreign Policy Chief Kaja Kallas and French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot condemned the attack, stating it was designed to intimidate European allies and foster political division.

Cross-border hostilities continued across several fronts. Shelling by Russian forces in Ukraine's Kherson region killed two people and injured 14 others. Meanwhile, Ukrainian drone strikes targeting Sochi and Russia's Belgorod region left seven people wounded.

In Kyiv, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky signed a decree dismissing the national prosecutor general. The escalation and political reshuffle unfold despite claims from US President Donald Trump that both Kyiv and Moscow had reached an agreement to refrain from attacking energy infrastructure.
