The Indian students stuck in Ukraine said they could no longer cope with the nail-biting cold, depleting food supplies and having to melt snow to get drinking water.
Several Indian students stranded in Sumy who decided to walk to the Russian border amid intense fighting in the region are now "confused" whether to continue their journey after the Ministry of External Affairs urged them to avoid taking unnecessary risks.
As evacuation from the shelling-battered city remains a challenge for Indian authorities, the students said they could no longer cope with the nail-biting cold, depleting food supplies and having to melt snow to get drinking water.
Around 700 Indian students are still stuck in the war-hit region, their evacuation hampered by the continuous fighting in the area.
The students said they have run out of food and water.
