After returning from Ukraine, Indian students shared their pain. They will never forget the irresponsible attitude of the officials of the Indian Embassy in Ukraine.
The Indian Embassy in Ukraine issued a notice on 28 February, which read – All Indian students are advised to reach the border to return to India today. The Ukrainian government has arranged special trains.
“I will send you the video; you will understand what the Indian Embassy is doing with us? There is not even enough space to sit properly in the camp,” said Avantika.
A student of Kyiv Medical University replied on WhatsApp call, 'We are Indian students. Isn't it the responsibility of the Embassy to evacuate us safely? Is the job of the embassy only to issue circulars, not to help in a war-like situation? The students were left on their own terms. The officers shook hands by issuing notices in the name of help."
Showing the phone, a student present on the WhatsApp call said "I made hundreds of calls and messages to this officer, but no one got an answer. Yes, all the messages were definitely being read. She asks what the role of the Embassy is.”
