A group of Indian students in conflict-hit eastern Ukraine have appealed for help to take them to the western border, from where they can cross into a neighbouring country and possibly take an evacuation home.
The students have been at Pisochyn since the last two days, after an urgent advisory by the government of India asking them to leave second-biggest city Kharkiv, which has been constantly pounded by Russian missiles and artillery. The students have said they haven't eaten in two days. there is heavy snowfall in the area and the temperature is in minus degrees, the students said.
"We are stuck here for two days without food or water. There are some 1,000 students stranded here. The contractors are asking for $500 to $700 to take a bus to Lviv," one of the students said in a video message. "We haven't got any update from the embassy," he added.
Lviv is a city in western Ukraine, from where the border is not very far.
