Trump claims Russia and Ukraine agreed to avoid energy infrastructure strikes

US President Donald Trump announced that Russia and Ukraine have agreed to stop targeting each other's energy infrastructure, despite ongoing military engagements across multiple regions. Ground and aerial strikes continue to cause civilian casualties. Officials in Ukraine's Kherson region reported two deaths and 14 injuries following Russian shelling. Meanwhile, Ukrainian drone attacks reportedly injured seven people in Sochi and the Belgorod region in Russia.

In response to the conflict, the European Union prolonged its sanctions against Moscow. EU Foreign Policy Chief Kaja Kallas and French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot condemned a Russian strike on a passenger train near the Ukrainian border with Poland, characterizing it as a deliberate effort to divide European nations. In domestic political developments, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky signed a decree dismissing the country's prosecutor general.
