Trump claims Ukraine and Russia agreed to halt energy strikes

U.S. President Donald Trump claimed that Ukraine and Russia agreed to halt attacks on each other's energy infrastructure, though fighting continues on the ground. Local Ukrainian officials reported that Russian shelling in the Kherson region killed two people and injured 14. Simultaneously, Ukrainian drone attacks reportedly wounded seven people across Sochi and Russia's Belgorod region.

Diplomatic actions also expanded as the European Union extended its sanctions against Moscow. EU Foreign Policy Chief Kaja Kallas and French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot criticized a Russian strike on a train near the Polish border as an attempt to intimidate Europe. Additionally, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky signed a decree removing the country's prosecutor general.
