Ukraine’s foreign minister warned on Sunday that Vladimir Putin was “knocking on Nato’s door” after a Russian drone struck a passenger train just two kilometres from the Polish border. A drone hit the engine carriage of a train near the Yahodyn crossing point earlier on Sunday. The vehicle had already been evacuated after Ukraine learned of the incoming strike, and nobody was injured.

Russian barbarians are at your gate, dear partners.” The strike occurred as Russia launched its biggest drone barrage on Ukraine in months. Ukraine’s air force tallied 450 drones launched overnight, including jet-propelled drones and Banderol missile drones. Asked about the war during his visit to Ireland, however, US president Donald Trump only urged Ukraine to stop hitting Russian diesel refineries, which is contributing to higher prices for American farmers.

Ukraine’s foreign minister on Sunday warned that Vladimir Putin was “knocking directly on the doors of the EU and Nato” after a train was struck near the border with Poland. He added: “Act now: throw the full weight of your sanctions at Putin’s aggressive regime. Make Moscow feel the consequences of its terror.

Not just half-decisions, but uncompromising, powerful steps. Full sanctions on the military-industrial complex.” Boris Johnson was not on a train hit by a Russian drone near the Polish border returning from Ukraine. Early reports had suggested that the former prime minister had been on the train with officials working for German chancellor Friedrich Merz and other EU leaders.

However, a spokeswoman who was with him has confirmed that Mr Johnson was on a different train and did not need to be evacuated. It is understood that the former PM is planning to put out a statement once it is clear what happened to a different train on the track. The drone attack is one of the most serious against EU leaders by Russia but it is not clear yet whether it was an accident or intentional.

A Russian drone on Sunday struck a train near a Polish border crossing with Ukraine that had earlier been used by visiting politicians. The drone hit the engine carriage of the train, which had already been evacuated from the rest of the train after Ukraine learned of the incoming strike. The aerial drone came down just two kilometres from the Polish border, near the Yahodyn crossing point.
