The EU extended sanctions against Russia following a train strike near the Polish border, as military operations continue despite talks on protecting energy infrastructure.

The European Union has extended its sanctions regime against Russia after a Russian strike targeted a train near the Ukrainian-Polish border. EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas and French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot both condemned the attack, stating it was designed to create divisions and intimidate European partners.

Meanwhile, military operations persist across the region despite claims by US President Donald Trump that Moscow and Kyiv agreed to stop targeting energy infrastructure. Shelling in Ukraine's Kherson region killed two people and injured 14 others. In Russia, Ukrainian drone strikes wounded seven individuals in the Sochi and Belgorod regions. In Kyiv, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky officially dismissed the country's prosecutor general.
