  Baikal-GVD is a next generation, kilometer-scale neutrino telescope currently
under construction in Lake Baikal. GVD is formed by multi-megaton sub-arrays
(clusters) and is designed for the detection of astrophysical neutrino fluxes
at energies from a few TeV up to 100 PeV. The design of the Baikal-GVD allows
one to search for astrophysical neutrinos with flux values measured by IceCube
already at early phases of the array construction. We present here preliminary
results of the search for high-energy neutrinos via the cascade mode with the
Baikal-GVD neutrino telescope.
