Trump announces Russia-Ukraine energy truce amid ongoing strikes

US President Donald Trump announced that Russia and Ukraine have agreed to halt attacks on each other's energy infrastructure, though fighting remains intense across several regions. Ukrainian officials reported two deaths and 14 injuries from recent Russian bombardment in Kherson, while Ukrainian drone strikes on Belgorod and Sochi wounded seven people in Russia.

In Europe, the European Union renewed its sanctions package against Russia. Following a Russian strike on a train near the Ukrainian-Polish border, EU diplomacy chief Kaja Kallas and French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot warned that Moscow is attempting to intimidate European allies and foster division. Domestically, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky issued an official decree removing the nation's prosecutor general from office.
