Russia-Ukraine War Updates: Indians not allowed to board trains in Kyiv

Kyiv: Indian students and other foreigners are not being allowed to board trains in Kyiv, an Indian student stuck at the Vokzal railway station said in a video on Tuesday, hours after the Indian Embassy in the Ukraine capital asked all Indians to quit the city urgently.

The student, Ansh Pandita, said in the video that the Indian students came to the railway station on the advice of the Indian embassy.

"The guards are not allowing Indians or foreign nationals... I can show you how crowded it is here, there is ruckus, and scuffles are happening. Indians are sitting here. We have also placed our flag here because everyone is scared of what may happen," he said.
