India has asked all its citizens, including journalists and those reportedly in service of the armies of either of the warring sides in Ukraine, to leave the country by Thursday evening.
The Indian Embassy in Ukraine has issued an advisory asking all Indians to leave the country even as the last batch of students from Sumy today reached Poland.
“By tomorrow evening, we will have last of our flights out of Ukraine. After the Sumy batch, there won’t be too many left. The diplomatic teams on the ground can’t remain in the harm’s way. After tomorrow, we will not be able to provide immediate help in case of an adverse incident,” said a source. On reports of one Indian each having joined Russian and Ukrainian forces, the sources pointed to the latest advisory on leaving the conflict zone. On many Indians “having enlisted to fight”, the sources said “instinctively that’s not a good thing to encourage”.
