Fifty four constituencies, spanning nine districts, are going to polls in this phase. The voting commenced at 7 am and will continue till 6 pm, with the counting of votes slated to take place on 10 March.

It is the twelfth day of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and there are still around 800 Indian students stranded in Sumy, some of whom, while speaking to The Quint, claimed that all the attention of the media and the government is focused on big cities like Kharkiv and Kyiv.
Most of them belong to Sumy State University.
