The Indian Embassy at Ukraine Capital has issued a new advisory for all Indian Nationals and students stranded in Ukraine amid the Russian attack.
The circular requests all citizens to not move borders before coordination with the officials of the Indian government. The citizens are expected to be indoors, with access to food, water and other basic amenities rather than reaching border checkpoints with misinformation. It is becoming increasingly difficult for the Embassy to relay help to the citizens arriving at the borders without prior information.
