Won't rest until last one is out from war-hit Ukraine, says MEA

Indian student shot at in Kharkiv, hospitalized

With around 20,000 Indian students already evacuated from Ukraine, the government reckons there are between 2,000 and 3,000 Indians left in the conflict-hit country and around 300 in Kharkiv where the heaviest fighting is on.

“We will not rest until we have got the last one out. Evacuation flights will continue till every Indian is out from the country,” said Arindam Bagchi, the spokesman for the Ministry of External Affairs.

He added that the government had appealed to both Russia and Ukraine to cease fire for a short while and create humanitarian corridors so that all Indian citizens can leave.
