Bhubaneswar: A large group of around 700 Indian students, including five from Odisha, who were stuck in Ukraine’s Sumy, has reached Poland, from where they will board Operation Ganga flights to India on Thursday.
After reaching Poland, the students thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Ukraine government and its people, the Indian government, the Indian World Forum, Red Cross and the Indian Embassy in Kyiv, ANI tweeted.
The evacuation of the Indian students from Sumy began on Tuesday.
The students were taken from Sumy in a convoy of 13 buses escorted by the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) to Poltava in central Ukraine, a three-hour drive from Sumy.
From Poltava, they reached Lviv in western Ukraine by train, a journey of 888 km. At Lviv railway station, they boarded a train to Poland.
Indian envoy to Ukraine Partha Satpathy, who is from Odisha, flagged off the special train at Lviv railway station.
