A Russian attack on Kyiv on July 2 caused over ten fatalities and damaged more than twenty residential buildings. Commercial properties, including the ERC complex, Porsche Center Kyiv Airport, CityHotel Residence, and an Agromat store, also sustained damage. Separately, the European Union Court of Justice confirmed a €4.1 billion fine against Google for abusing its dominant position with the Android operating system, upholding an earlier decision. Meanwhile, Ukraine has requested €6.6 billion in military assistance from the European Peace Facility, seeking to leverage a "window of opportunity" on the front lines expected to last six to nine months. Additionally, Kyiv has launched a controlled export system for its defense technologies to partner nations, an initiative announced by Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko and Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov.
