The Indian Embassy in Ukraine is finding it increasing difficult to help the crossing of those Indian nationals who reach border checkpoints without prior intimation.
The Government of India is evacuating its citizens from Ukraine from Poland and Hungary routes after Russia launched a full-scale war on Thursday. However, mad rush of people to the borders has posed challenges for the authorities handling the situation.
The situations at various border checkpoints are sensitive and the Embassy is working continuously with the diplomats of the neighbouring countries for coordinated evacuation of its citizens. “All Indian citizens in Ukraine are advised to not move to any of the border posts without prior coordination with Government of India officials at the border posts and the Emergency numbers of Embassy of India,” Embassy of India at Kyiv said in a fresh advisory.
The Indians have been advised to stay in the western cities of Ukraine where access of water, food, accommodation and basic amenities are available instead of reaching border check points without being fully abreast of the situation.
All those currently in the Eastern sector are requested to continue to remain in their current places of residence until further instruction.
