The government of India is completely seized with the matter. Every Indian will go back home. Planes are being lined up, said Indian envoy.
The Indian government will evacuate all Indian nationals from Ukraine, India's Ambassador said here on Friday as he assured Indian students holed up in this country, a day after Russia launched a massive military operation against it.
Indian Ambassador to Ukraine Partha Satpathy also urged the students taking refuge in temporary shelters to be "realistic about the situation and convey to friends and families that everything would just be fine." With Russia announcing a military operation in Ukraine, thousands of Indian students enrolled in Ukrainian higher education institutions — mostly studying medicine — are in a state of panic and pleading with authorities to ensure their safe return to India.
"The government of India is completely seized with the matter. Every Indian will go back home. Planes are being lined up. Personnel is being lined up, but it's a warzone. We will have to work out the logistics and find the modalities to reach the West," Mr Satpathy said while speaking to students who were holed up here.
"We have to be realistic about the situation. So, convey to your friends wherever they are in Ukraine that things will be fine," he was seen telling anxious Indian nationals in a video shared by a student.
