Indian Embassy in Kyiv has issued a fresh advisory on Thursday evening, saying the movement of people is difficult in Ukraine as the country is now under martial law. For those students who are stranded without a place of stay in Kyiv, the Mission said, it is in touch with establishments to put them up.
“We are aware that certain places are hearing air sirens/bomb warnings. In case you are faced with such a situation, Google Maps has a list of nearby bomb shelters, many of which are located in underground metros.
The Mission advised Indian nationals not to leave their homes unless necessary.
"While Mission is identifying possible solution to the situation, please be aware of your surroundings, be safe, do not leave your homes unless necessary and carry your documents with you at all times," it said.
The situation in Ukraine deteriorated after President Vladimir Putin announced a military operation, triggering serious concerns over the possibility of a full-scale military confrontation between the two countries.
India has been closely monitoring the situation with the government saying the focus is on the safety and security of its nationals, especially students.
