U.S. President Donald Trump announced a pause on energy strikes between Russia and Ukraine as cross-border attacks continue and the EU extends sanctions.

United States President Donald Trump announced that Russia and Ukraine have agreed to halt strikes on each other's energy infrastructure, though fighting remains intense across several regions. Recent Russian shelling in Ukraine's Kherson region killed two people and injured 14 others. Meanwhile, Ukrainian drone attacks in Russia's Belgorod region and the coastal city of Sochi resulted in seven injuries, according to local officials.

In response to ongoing hostilities, the European Union extended its sanctions regime against Russia. EU diplomatic chief Kaja Kallas and French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot condemned a recent Russian strike on a train near the Polish border, describing it as an effort to spread fear and division within Europe. In Kyiv, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky signed a decree officially removing the country's prosecutor general from office.
