Fighting continues in Ukraine despite reported agreement on energy targets

Despite U.S. President Donald Trump's announcement that Russia and Ukraine informally agreed to halt attacks on energy infrastructure, military operations have continued across several regions. Ukrainian officials reported two deaths and 14 injuries from Russian shelling in Kherson, while drone strikes targeted Russia's Belgorod region and Sochi, injuring seven people.

Politically, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky dismissed the nation's prosecutor general by decree. Concurrently, the European Union extended its sanctions regime against Russia. EU diplomatic chief Kaja Kallas and French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot criticized a recent Russian strike on a train near the Ukrainian-Polish border, warning that the action was designed to intimidate European nations and foster internal divisions.
