Russia Attacks Ukraine Latest Updates Day 3: The Indian embassy in Kyiv urged Indian citizens stranded in Ukraine to not move to any of the border posts without prior coordination with Centre officials. The embassy in Kyiv also said that the situation in the border areas is sensitive and it is difficult to help Indian students and citizens with crossings without prior coordination.
People familiar with developments told CNNNews18 that a repatriation flight will leave for Romanian capital Bucharest from New Delhi later today morning. Another flight is expected to leave in the afternoon.
The embassy highlighted that staying in western cities of Ukraine with access to water, food, accommodation and basic amenities is safer compared to rushing towards border areas without prior information. The MEA also has shared contacts of those officials who are at Ukrainian land borders from where they are supposed to coordinate and evacuate stranded Indians.
“All those currently in the eastern sector are requested to continue to remain
in their current places of residence until further instructions, maintain calm, and
stay indoors or in shelters as much as possible, with whatever food, water and
amenities available and remain patient. Avoid unnecessary movement,” the embassy in Kyiv said in a release.
