Russia-Ukraine crisis: Many students are desperate to leave after Russia's invasion forced Ukraine to shut down its airspace.
As Russian forces advanced in Ukraine today, bombing targets across the country, stranded Indian students appealed to the government to help them return safely to India.
Many students are desperate to leave after Russia's invasion forced Ukraine to shut down its airspace. An Air India special flight to Kyiv with eight turned back and returned to Delhi this morning.
Indian students waiting at the Kyiv airport were moved out and many complained that their luggage had been left at the airport. The students had travelled to the Ukraine capital from various cities to catch the flight.
"Yesterday my friends were going to Kyiv when there was a bomb blast. They were stopped midway and turned back," said Ashita Soni from Rajasthan, a young woman studying in Ukraine.
