An Indian student from Ukraine, Shubhanshu, narrated the long journey he and hundreds of Indian students made to reach the Romanian border
A mother and her son hug each other after he walked out of the arrival terminal at Delhi airport. The teen, Shubhanshu, arrived from conflict-hit Ukraine in an evacuation flight.
"It was like hell," the student told NDTV outside Delhi airport, on a day an Indian student lost his life when Russian soldiers blew up a Ukrainian government building in the east European nation's second-biggest city Kharkiv.
Shubhanshu narrated the long journey he and hundreds of Indian students made to reach the Romanian border and the difficulties they faced as they desperately tried to get out of Ukraine to neighbouring countries, from where they would be flown to India.
"We travelled from Vinnytsia to the border. The journey was uneventful. Our contractors arranged buses. We reached the border safely, though we had to walk some 12 km. But walking was not the problem. The problem was crossing the Romanian border. It had become impossible to cross the border," Shubhanshu told NDTV.
