Ukraine and Russia continue strikes despite reported agreement on energy targets

Ukrainian and Russian forces have carried out further cross-border attacks despite claims by US President Donald Trump of a mutual agreement to halt strikes on energy infrastructure. Local authorities reported that Russian shelling in Ukraine's Kherson region killed two people and injured 14 others, while Ukrainian drone strikes wounded seven people across Russia's Belgorod and Sochi regions.

Diplomatically, the European Union extended its sanctions regime against Moscow. EU diplomatic chief Kaja Kallas and French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot condemned a recent Russian strike on a train near the Polish border, characterising it as a deliberate attempt to intimidate European nations. In Kyiv, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky signed an executive decree formally dismissing the country's prosecutor general from office.
