Russian troops to help Indians in evacuation from Moscow

Deccan Chronicle  

Visakhapatnam: Russian troops are likely to help India in the safe passage of stranded persons from here who are still stuck in the war-hit areas close to the eastern border of Ukraine. This apart, the Indian government has kept two Air Force IL-76 planes ready for evacuation under a special arrangement with Moscow. The Russian troops’ support is needed as the border is surrounded by artillery fire and this is the only place for rapid evacuation of the Indians stuck in the Sumy and Kharkiv. The Union ministry of external affairs has reiterated, “Our government is in constant touch with Moscow to give safe passage to Indian students stranded in Kharkiv and Sumy warzones and allow evacuation through the eastern border with Russia.” Students suffer from Hypothermia On the other hand, the students stuck in the Kharkiv and Sumy said the government’s idea of using the Passage Corridor through Russia would be of help to them.
