Russia struck a stationary Ukrainian train shortly after former UK PM Boris Johnson and other European officials had departed the station near the Polish border. Johnson condemned the attack, questioning what logic led Russian President Vladimir Putin to target the locomotive, an act widely seen as an attempt to intimidate Western officials involved in peace efforts. NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte responded by pledging increased Western support for Ukraine, insisting that allies would not be intimidated by Russian attacks intended to 'scare' them off. The statement signals continued NATO backing for Kyiv even as strikes near the border raise concerns about the safety of officials engaged in the US-brokered peace process.
