First India evacuation flight leaves Ukraine

Students formed the bulk of over 240 Indians who flew back from Kyiv and are expected to reach Delhi around midnight on Tuesday-Wednesday on an Air India Dreamliner special evacuation flight as fears of a Russian invasion of Ukraine escalated. A large number of Indian students study in Ukrainian medical colleges and the embassy in Kyiv on Tuesday advised them “in the interest of their safety” to leave “Ukraine temporarily rather than wait for an official confirmation about online classes from their universities”.
