New Delhi: After having asked its citizens including students who are living in Ukraine to return, family members of Indian embassy staff in Ukraine will also be sent home, sources were quoted as saying by NDTV.
The Indian embassy, in a second advisory on Sunday, said Indian citizens should look for any available commercial or charter flight to get out of Ukraine amid tensions over a possible invasion by Russia.
“In view of the continued high levels of tensions and uncertainties with respect to the situation in Ukraine, all Indian nationals whose stay is not deemed essential and all Indian students, are advised to leave Ukraine temporarily,” tweeted the Indian embassy in Ukraine.
“Indian students are advised to also get in touch with respective student contractors for updates on charter flights, and also continue to follow embassy Facebook, website and Twitter for any update,” said the India embassy.
Meanwhile, Russian President Vladimir Putin and his US counterpart Joe Biden have agreed for a meeting to be held only if Moscow does not invade Ukraine. This was announced by France on Monday following a frantic new round of diplomacy to avoid an all-out war, reported news agency AFP.
“Timing to be determined. Format to be determined so it’s all completely notional,” a senior administration official was quoted as saying by AFP.
