The Indian government had closed its embassy in Kyiv a day ago, saying all Indians had been evacuated out of the city.
A family of four has sent out a desperate plea out of Ukraine's capital Kyiv that was supposed to have been evacuated of all Indians by Tuesday, saying they have been unable to leave the city amid an escalating Russian assault.
"We are a family of four. Myself Dr Rajkumar Santhalani, my wife Mayuri Mohanandane, my daughter Gyana Raj Santhalani, and my son as you can see Partha Santhalani, who is having fever and we are unable to get from Kyiv," he said in a video message.
"Embassy people called us many times but they were unable to locate us. They said they will be sending some transport. But till now we (haven't) got any transportation from their side. And outside the firing is there," he said.
"My neighbours have asked me to stay on guard in the balcony as pro-Russians are coming. And Russians and Ukrainians are fighting amongst each other. And the fire shots are there, sometimes small bombs. And they are looting people," Dr Santhalani said.
