Russian “Shahed” UAVs struck one of the universities in Kyiv — Zelensky

“Today, russian “Shaheds” struck one of the universities in Kyiv — right during classes. Fortunately, the 160 students were in a shelter. At night, the russians shelled Odesa. A residential building and city infrastructure were damaged. Five people were injured, including one child. In Kherson, the russians struck a building housing rescuers and police. As a result of a strike in the Kharkiv oblast, thousands of people were left without electricity, and there were injuries. Air raid alerts continue in many regions due to the threat of jet-powered drones and aerial bombs”, - Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on September 2.

“Unfortunately, the response of the world and the most influential leaders to this latest escalation of russian strikes is insufficient. When russian-Iranian “Shaheds” are carrying out such round-the-clock terror in Europe, this cannot remain a problem for our country alone. Every such strike on Ukrainians, every use of “Shaheds” and other means of attack against our cities and villages is essentially russia rehearsing tactics that they are preparing for other countries and other peoples as well. Action is needed now. Evil must be stopped when it reveals itself. Absolutely clear and decisive steps are needed to put pressure on russia for this and to help Ukraine. Every partner knows what is needed: air defense for Ukraine, sanctions against russia, and a significant increase in defense production. Thank you to those who are genuinely helping!” - the head of state concluded.
