Trump claims Russia and Ukraine agreed to halt energy strikes as fighting persists
US President Donald Trump reported an agreement between Moscow and Kyiv to avoid targeting energy infrastructure, despite ongoing military strikes and diplomatic tensions.
US President Donald Trump announced that Russia and Ukraine have agreed to stop targeting each other's energy infrastructure. Despite the reported arrangement, military actions continue across several regions. Ukrainian authorities stated that shelling in Kherson resulted in two deaths and 14 injuries, while drone attacks in Russia's Belgorod and Sochi regions reportedly wounded seven people.
Concurrently, European Union Foreign Policy Chief Kaja Kallas and French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot condemned a Russian attack on a train near the Polish border, characterising it as an effort to divide European nations. The European Union also formally extended its sanctions against Moscow. Domestically, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky removed the country's prosecutor general from office through an official decree.
