EU extends sanctions on Russia amid ongoing combat and train strike

The European Union has prolonged its sanctions regime against Russia following a missile strike on a train near the Polish-Ukrainian border. EU Foreign Affairs Chief Kaja Kallas and French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot condemned the incident as a deliberate effort to intimidate European partners.

The diplomatic development comes as US President Donald Trump stated that Moscow and Kyiv agreed to a temporary moratorium on targeting energy infrastructure. However, hostilities continue across multiple fronts. Shelling in Ukraine's Kherson region resulted in two deaths and 14 injuries, while Ukrainian drone attacks in Russia's Belgorod region and Sochi reportedly wounded seven individuals. Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky signed a decree removing the nation's prosecutor general from office.
