On September 2, Russian attacks on Kyiv entered their seventh consecutive day, resulting in at least 13 injuries. Drones struck central Kyiv, damaging a university, a residential building, and a medical facility. President Volodymyr Zelensky condemned the attacks, urging international allies for air defense, sanctions against Russia, and intensified defense industries.
A shootout between security services SBU and HUR occurred during an investigation into a Russian FSB plot, likely targeting Russian opposition figure Stepan Kaplunov. Zelensky appointed new Ground Forces commander Sviatoslav Zaiets, replacing Hennadii Shapovalov, though reasons for Shapovalov's dismissal were not provided. Ukrainian forces also struck Russian military targets, destroying a Ka-27 helicopter and a MiG-29 fighter jet in earlier attacks.
