Indians in Ukraine: "We are scared of going out, too much bombings. Everyone who goes out does so at their own risk," said Srikant, the friend of Naveen Shekharappa, who was killed in Ukraine
The roommate of an Indian student, who lost his life in conflict-hit Ukraine today, has said he "will survive tonight" but is worried about essentials and food running out. His friend, 21-year-old Naveen Shekharappa, a final year medical student from Karnataka's Haveri, died when Russian soldiers blew up a government building.
The roommates had been taking shelter in the basement of their apartment building in Ukraine's second-largest city Kharkiv for the last five days.
Srikant, who lost his friend today, said he and two others in the shelter would stay put as any attempt to reach the railway station would be highly risky amid the Russian bombings and missile attacks.
Narrating how they got through the day, Srikant told NDTV, "We didn't have enough food since last night, so we tried to look for food this morning. There was a curfew since 3 pm yesterday to 6 am today. After 6 am, when I woke up, I messaged Naveen 'where are you?' He asked me to transfer some money to get more stuff from the shop."
