Several parliamentarians report that they are working remotely and that Friday's meeting has been cancelled.

There are signals of an increased risk of attacks against the government district in the coming days. Also against Kyiv and Ukraine in general, says parliamentarian Jevgenia Kravtjuk.

Earlier in the day, at least two people were killed and several injured in the city of Sumy in northeastern Ukraine, according to Ukrainian authorities.

Several massive explosions occurred in Sumy, said the acting mayor Artem Kobzar in a video message published on Telegram on Friday morning.

The regional military leadership reported that a residential area was hit by a Russian drone.

Further south, Russia claims to have taken another village near the eastern Ukrainian industrial city of Kurakhove.

According to the Defense Ministry in Moscow, it is about the village of Novodmytrivka, which is located at the front north of Kurakhove, which has been "liberated".
