His parents and relatives received him at the airport with hugs.
“I would like to thank the Chief Minister M.K. Stalin and the State government for taking timely measures and bearing the costs of repatriating to bring me and fellow students back to our hometowns during the sudden war situation in Ukraine.” Santosh, who came from Ukraine, told the press. He proceeded to his hometown Paramakudi.
Similarly, Brinda, hailing from Thoothukudi returned from Russia.
“The war in Ukraine has caused various problems in Russia as well. The money sent by parents from India could not be withdrawn at ATM centers. Moreover, the prices of essential commodities have also risen sharply. As a result, students studying in Russia have begun to return to their hometowns.” she said.
