Ukraine and Russia exchange strikes despite reported energy agreement

Cross-border military activity has continued between Ukraine and Russia despite claims from US President Donald Trump of a preliminary agreement between Kyiv and Moscow to halt strikes on energy infrastructure.

In southern Ukraine, local officials stated that Russian artillery strikes in the Kherson region killed two people and injured 14 others. Simultaneously, Ukrainian drone strikes reportedly wounded seven individuals across Russia's Belgorod region and the Black Sea resort city of Sochi.

Diplomatically, European Union Foreign Policy Chief Kaja Kallas and French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot condemned a recent Russian strike on a train near the Ukrainian-Polish border, describing it as an effort to divide and intimidate European partners. In Kyiv, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky dismissed the country's prosecutor general by decree.
