Fighting continues in Ukraine despite reported deal on energy strikes

Fighting and strikes persist across Ukraine and Russia despite US President Donald Trump announcing a tentative agreement between Kyiv and Moscow to halt attacks on energy infrastructure.

Local Ukrainian officials reported that Russian shelling in the Kherson region killed two people and injured 14 others. Concurrently, Ukrainian drone strikes reportedly injured seven individuals across Russia's Belgorod region and the coastal city of Sochi.

In diplomatic developments, European Union officials condemned a recent 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 action was designed to intimidate European nations and create divisions among Kyiv's allies. Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky signed a decree dismissing the country's prosecutor general.
