    War in Ukraine – UPDATE


    The Russian state media TASS and
    RIA Novosti cited the Russian Ministry of Defense denying reports of one its missiles
    having hit a residential building Kyiv, claiming the building was struck by Ukrainian
    anti-aircraft missiles. The information disseminated on social networks about
    a Russian missile attack on a residential building on Lobanovsky Avenue in Kyiv
    is not true, the Russian Defense Ministry said.


    The Mayor of Kyiv has announced a
    curfew will be in place between 5 PM and 8 AM. Anyone found outside between
    these hours will be considered a member of sabotage and reconnaissance groups.




    In the occupied region of
    Donetsk, the Russian military is distributing gas masks to troops and local
    militias, Ukraine’s Security Service claims. The agency says there is a risk of
    provocation by blowing up industrial chemical tanks.




    Meanwhile, Hungary decided to
    rally the international effort to exclude Russia from the SWIFT system of international
    payments, after originally opposing this decision.




    In Romania, the Romanian Foreign
    Ministry has announced it has shut down its embassy in Kyiv and has successfully
    brought home all embassy staff.


    The Government announced it has
    shut down its air space to all Russian aircraft, a measure that has already implemented
    in multiple EU states. At the end of a new meeting of the special task force
    overseeing developments in Ukraine, the Romanian authorities also decided to
    withdraw from the International Investment Bank (IIB), where the Russian
    Federation is the main shareholder.
