U.S. claims informal Russia-Ukraine energy strike pause as attacks persist

U.S. President Donald Trump announced that Russia and Ukraine have informally agreed to halt attacks on each other's energy infrastructure. Despite the reported arrangement, military strikes continue across several regions.

Ukrainian local authorities in Kherson reported two fatalities and 14 injuries following Russian shelling. Simultaneously, drone strikes hit targets in Sochi and Russia's Belgorod region, injuring seven people.

In Kyiv, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky signed a decree dismissing the country's prosecutor general. Meanwhile, the European Union officially extended its sanctions against Russia. EU High Representative Kaja Kallas and French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot condemned a Russian strike on a train near the Ukrainian-Polish border, describing it as an effort to intimidate European nations and create internal divisions.
