Safe Corridor For Our Students Stranded In Sumy Did Not Materialise, Says India

New Delhi: Voicing concerns over the deteriorating situation in Ukraine after the Russian invasion, India said on Tuesday that the ensuing humanitarian crisis deserves immediate and urgent attention.

India’s UN Ambassador TS Tirumurti in his address at the UNSC briefing on the humanitarian situation in Ukraine reiterated the urgent demand for the safe and uninterrupted passage for all civilians, including Indian nationals stranded in the war-ravaged country.

“India is ‘deeply concerned that despite our repeated urgings’ to both Russia and Ukraine, the ‘safe corridor for our students stranded in Sumy did not materialise’,” he was quoted as saying by NDTV.
