The deputy commander of the Russian Volunteer Corps, which fights for Ukraine, was either abducted or detained in Kyiv. The incident ended in a shootout between Ukraine’s security services.

Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU) announced on the morning of September 2 that it and Ukrainian military intelligence (the HUR) had thwarted a terrorist attack planned by Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) against “one of the leaders of a Russian opposition political national movement.” The SBU did not name the man, adding only that he had come to Ukraine for the country’s Independence Day.
