The EU extended sanctions on Russia following a border train attack, as U.S. President Trump claimed a deal to protect energy targets and casualties were reported in Kherson and Russia.

The European Union has officially extended its sanctions regime against Russia as the conflict enters its 1,663rd day. EU High Representative Kaja Kallas and French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot condemned a Russian attack on a train near the border with Poland, characterizing the action as an attempt to intimidate European allies and sow division.

Simultaneously, U.S. President Donald Trump announced that Kyiv and Moscow agreed to stop targeting energy facilities. On the front lines, violence persists. Shelling in Ukraine's Kherson region left two dead and 14 wounded, while drone strikes in Sochi and Belgorod injured seven people in Russia. In Kyiv, President Volodymyr Zelensky signed a decree formally removing Ukraine's prosecutor general from office.
