EU leaders condemn Russian border train strike as attacks continue

The European Union extended sanctions against Russia as diplomatic tensions escalated following a Russian strike on a train near the Ukrainian-Polish border. European Union Foreign Policy Chief Kaja Kallas and French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot condemned the assault, characterizing it as a deliberate effort to intimidate European nations and create division.

On the ground, fighting persisted in multiple regions. Ukrainian authorities reported two fatalities and 14 injuries caused by Russian shelling in the Kherson region. Conversely, Ukrainian drone strikes in Russia's Belgorod region and the coastal city of Sochi injured seven people.

In Kyiv, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky issued a decree removing the national prosecutor general from office. The military and political developments come despite statements from US President Donald Trump claiming both nations had agreed to cease strikes on energy infrastructure.
