EU condemns Russian drone strike on train near Poland border

The European Union has condemned a Russian drone strike on a passenger train in western Ukraine, saying the attack was intended to intimidate countries supporting Kyiv. EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said the strike showed that Russia was trying to pressure Western allies near Ukraine’s border with Poland. Ukraine’s railway operator said the train was attacked on Sunday near Yahodyn station, about two kilometres from the Polish border. The route is often used by foreign delegations returning from Kyiv, and the strike came shortly after several European officials, including former British prime minister Boris Johnson, had travelled on the line. No casualties were reported. Ukrzaliznytsia said a diplomatic train carrying Johnson, former Swedish prime minister Carl Bildt and others had already left after schedules were adjusted because of the risk of Russian attacks. Another train with former CIA director David Petraeus aboard was still at the station when the drone struck. The article also noted that Russia and Ukraine have increased longrange attacks as the war continues, while U.S. President Donald Trump has urged Ukraine to stop strikes on Russian diesel infrastructure.
