European Union extends sanctions on Russia amid ongoing strikes
The EU has extended sanctions against Russia as strikes persist and U.S. President Donald Trump claims an agreement on energy targets.
The European Union has renewed its sanctions framework against Moscow as hostilities persist along the front lines. Senior European diplomacy chief Kaja Kallas and French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot condemned a Russian strike on a train near the Ukrainian-Polish border, characterizing the action as an attempt to undermine European unity.
On the ground, regional authorities reported two fatalities and 14 injuries from Russian shelling in Ukraine's Kherson region. Meanwhile, Ukrainian drone strikes reportedly injured seven individuals across Russia's Belgorod region and Sochi.
In diplomatic developments, U.S. President Donald Trump stated that Kyiv and Moscow reached an understanding to halt strikes on energy infrastructure. Concurrently, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky signed an official decree dismissing the country's prosecutor general.
