NEW DELHI: The Indian embassy in Ukraine has issued an urgent advisory asking all its citizens to leave Kharkiv immediately. Under all circumstances, they must reach Pesochin, Babaye and Bezlyudovka settlements, the embassy said.
The Indian embassy in a tweet said, “For their safety and security they must leave Kharkiv immediately. Proceed to Pesochin, Babaye and Bezlyudovka as soon as possible.”
Earlier, Indian embassy in Poland had also issued an urgent advisory to Indian nationals in war-torn Ukraine, urging them to travel at the earliest to the Budomierz border for a quick entry into Poland.
A similar advisory was issued on March 1 for Indian citizens in Kyiv, asking them to leave the capital city, preferably by “available trains or through any other means available”.
Since Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, the Indian government has been coordinating efforts to evacuate all Indian nationals in the country via Poland, Romania, Hungary and other neighbouring countries under Operation Ganga.
