EU renews sanctions on Russia after border train attack
The EU extended sanctions on Russia following a border train strike, while active fighting persists in Kherson and Belgorod.
The European Union has extended sanctions against Russia following a Russian strike on a train near the Ukrainian-Polish border. EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas and French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot stated the attack was aimed at intimidating European allies and creating political divisions.
Simultaneously, combat operations persist across several regions. Ukrainian authorities reported two deaths and 14 injuries from shelling in Kherson, while Russian officials claimed drone strikes wounded seven people in Sochi and Belgorod. In diplomatic developments, U.S. President Donald Trump announced that Moscow and Kyiv had agreed to pause strikes on energy targets. In Kyiv, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky officially dismissed the country's prosecutor general.
