EU extends sanctions on Russia following strike near Polish border

The European Union has renewed its sanctions against Russia following a missile attack on a train near the Ukrainian-Polish border. EU diplomatic chief Kaja Kallas and French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot condemned the strike, stating it was intended to intimidate European nations and create internal divisions.

The diplomatic escalation occurs alongside ongoing military engagements across multiple regions. Ukrainian officials reported two deaths and 14 injuries from Russian shelling in Kherson, while Ukrainian drone strikes injured seven people in Sochi and Russia's Belgorod region. Additionally, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky signed a decree dismissing the national prosecutor general. The developments follow recent statements by US President Donald Trump claiming both nations had agreed to halt attacks on energy infrastructure.
