EU renews Russia sanctions as cross-border strikes persist

US President Donald Trump stated that Russia and Ukraine agreed to cease strikes against each other's energy infrastructure. However, hostilities continued across multiple regions, with Ukrainian officials reporting two deaths and 14 injuries from Russian shelling in Kherson. Simultaneously, Ukrainian drone strikes in Belgorod and Sochi reportedly wounded seven individuals.

In response to a Russian attack on a train near the Ukrainian-Polish border, European Union foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas and French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot warned that Moscow is attempting to intimidate European allies and sow internal division. The European Union formally extended its sanctions against Russia following the incident. In Kyiv, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky signed an official decree dismissing the nation's prosecutor general.
