Indian Student In Ukraine Allowed To Return With Cat After Initial Denial

It was challenging for Akhil Radhakrishnan to not only make sure he was safe in the conflict-ridden Ukraine but also to ensure that his pet cat reaches India safely.

A student from Kerala stranded in war-hit Ukraine who earned praises for his struggle to return with his pet cat, will finally land in India soon.

It was a great challenge for young 21-year-old Akhil Radhakrishnan to not only make sure that he was safe in the conflict-ridden Ukraine where he has been studying in Kharkiv National Medical University for the last two years but also to ensure that his pet cat also reaches India safely.

Ammini, the pet cat, was handed over to Akhil Radhakrishnan by his senior in college four months ago and since then the two have been inseparable.

"She is very lovely and I can't separate from her and I am glad that the Embassy of India in Ukraine is now allowing me to take her along," Akhil Radhakrishnan said while heaving a huge sigh of relief.
