As the tension amid Russia-Ukraine escalated on Thursday, the Indian students stranded queued up outside the Indian Embassy in Kiev seeking the authorities’ help as they ran out of food and money.
Though all could not be accommodated inside the Embassy premises, the officials have organised safe lodgings for them nearby and the students were moved there. The Russian military actions in Ukraine have triggered panic among all sections, including students from India.
Student’s said, “We urged the embassy officials in Kiev to allow us to sit inside as the temperature outside is two degrees Celsius and the students are standing since morning, but the authorities advised us to find hotels.” Stranded students sent a video from outside the embassy in which some officials are seen explaining the situation to the students.
