The Hindu
Ukraine and Russia have come close to a war in the past few weeks as a result of which the Indian embassy in Kyiv asked Indian students to temporarily leave the country amid the rising tensions.
Indian students, largely those studying medicine, hailing from Delhi to Gujarat who arrived from Ukraine said they were happy to be back in their home country amid escalating tensions between Russia and the eastern European country.
Most of the students PTI spoke to soon after their arrival on February 22 night said they followed the advisory issued by the Indian Embassy in Kyiv.
Anil Rapriya, 22, a fourth-year MBBS student at the Kharkiv National Medical University (KNMU) in Kharkiv city, just after landing at Delhi airport, said, "I am feeling happy to be back in my country".
"There is nothing to panic about there. I have just moved to India as the Indian Embassy asked us to leave the country temporarily given the evolving situation in Ukraine," he told PTI on phone.
Mr. Manish Rapriya was waiting anxiously at the T3 terminal's arrival lounge.
"He had gone for his MBBS course in 2018. I spoke to him on the phone after he landed at the Delhi airport. We are glad that he's back, as the situation can change given the tensions between Russia and Ukraine," he said.
