The team behind the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. video game series has announced its latest instalment will be delayed because of the Russian invasion.
Formerly based in Kyiv, GSC Game World has managed to move some of its staff to new offices in Prague, but many remain in Ukraine.
In a new video diary the company has shown how its staff are living and working in especially tight quarters.
Some of them say they have been sleeping in corridors for months, while others say their office space is a square metre squeezed between bathtubs and washing machines.
All of them rest well away from windows which could shatter under Russian artillery strikes.
The S.T.A.L.K.E.R. video game series is a first-person shooter set in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, where paranormal events are taking place.
Key developments:
• A senior US defence official told Foreign Policy magazine that Russia’s options are limited while Vladimir Putin refuses to formally declare war on Ukraine. The Russian president still describes the invasion as a “special military operation”, meaning he cannot draw troops from the general population
• Farmers in Odesa have started their grain harvest, but Russia’s invasion will mean a global wheat shortage for at least three seasons, Ukraine’s agriculture minister said
• There are reports of overnight shelling in the Kharkiv region and the UK Ministry of Defence has said Russian forces appear to have made small gains there for the first time in many weeks
