Trump claims Russia and Ukraine agreed to pause energy infrastructure strikes

US President Donald Trump announced that Russia and Ukraine have agreed to stop targeting each other's energy infrastructure, despite ongoing fighting across multiple fronts. On the ground, local authorities in Ukraine reported that Russian bombardment in the Kherson region killed two people and wounded 14 others. Ukrainian drone attacks also struck the coastal city of Sochi and Russia's Belgorod region, injuring seven people.

In diplomatic efforts, the European Union formally renewed its sanctions against Moscow. EU Foreign Policy Chief Kaja Kallas and French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot condemned a Russian attack on a train near the Ukrainian-Polish border, characterising it as a deliberate effort to intimidate European allies and cause division. Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky signed a decree dismissing the country's prosecutor general.
