Political tensions mounted on Tuesday over the European Union's next long-term budget as pressure builds to get the spending package agreed before a series of unpredictable elections in some of the biggest member countries next year.

The EU budget, known as the multiannual financial framework, amounts to around 1.2% of the 27-nation bloc's gross national income. The MFF is financed mostly by the member countries based on the size of their economies.

Ukraine received no early warning from its partners about a Russian ballistic missile strike on Kyiv in which five missiles hit civilian infrastructure, President Volodymyr Zelensky said Tuesday in a post on X.

King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia kicked off their first visit to Ceuta on Tuesday in a show of solidarity with residents of the Spanish city in North Africa as they grapple with a migration crisis that has strained relations with Morocco.

French police detained an armed 14-year-old pupil suspected in a rare school shooting on Monday that wounded the principal and a teacher. The education minister said the drama highlights the rise of "unbridled violence" in society.

The police department in the Bouches-du-Rhône region of southern France said the suspect's motive was unknown. The boy taken into custody is a pupil of the Joseph Lakanal middle school in Aubagne, where the shooting occurred, police said. Aubagne is about 15 kilometers (9 miles) east of the port city of Marseille.

India's opposition parties marched toward the Supreme Court on Monday to protest a purge of voter lists they say favors Prime Minister Narendra Modi's party, after police detained thousands of activists over the weekend in a sweeping crackdown.

The European Union on Monday formally added almost 1,600 new individuals and entities to its sanctions blacklist over Russia's war on Ukraine, as it seeks to keep pressure on Moscow.

"This is the single largest expansion of our sanctions list since Russia started its war. Europe is again showing a united front. More than half are connected to the production chain for ballistic missiles," EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said.

Ukrainian officials said Monday that Russia has continued to strike Ukraine's energy facilities even after U.S. President Donald Trump announced a day earlier that the warring countries had agreed on an "energy ceasefire" in the 4 1/2-year-old war.

A Monday statement from the Regional Prosecutor's Office of Kharkiv in northeastern Ukraine said Russian forces had attacked an energy facility on the outskirts of the city. That came after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Sunday that while he "welcomed" Trump's announcement, Russia was still hitting energy infrastructure in the capital Kyiv and in Kharkiv.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has told Donald Trump about Iran's position on a possible Mideast peace deal, the Kremlin said.

Donald Trump called for Ukraine to "get a new leader" after Volodymyr Zelensky slammed Washington's easing of Russian diesel sanctions, as the US president faces fuel price pressure weeks before midterm elections.
