New Delhi: A Indian student was trapped in the Hit-hit Ukraine Sumy for the past seven days complaining that embassy officials did not respond to SOS’s calls and that students were left to eat stale food and take a walk at sub-zero temperatures. Mehtab, who passed with one name and was a student at Sumy University, slamming the government for taking action only after a student lost his life. “Parents call, they cry. We are stuck in Sumy. We are trapped in the eastern part of Ukraine. We were stuck for the last 7 days, but there was no response. Kharkiv students were also trapped in Sumy … Naveen (students from Karnataka who died in the shooting ) It won’t die. Now Indians are dying here. After that the Indian government takes action. Will the Indian government take action after we die, “Mehtab said in a video interview from Sumy.
When asked how many were trapped in Sumy, Mehtab said there were almost 800 students “About 800. Not a single student has been evacuated from Sumy. It’s been seven days and we are trapped here. I called the previous embassy, but they said the problem would be resolved in two days. I called again after two days, there was no response .
“We drink water supply, bacterial water and it affects my health. We eat stale food,” said Mehtab, adding he could hear the sound of the explosion “We are helpless, very helpless. We know what we have, how we stayed here. Many of my friends called me and cried. They were beaten by the army. They have to walk 15 km at a sub-zero temperature,” he said.
Mehtab begged help from the center and had hard words for the Indian Embassy in Ukraine “No one responded, I called the embassy many times, there was no response. What students will do. Very helpless,” he said Back home, students who were again greeted with the song “Bharat Ki Jai” and flowers “Now we are here, we are given this (Rose). What’s the point? What will we do with this? What will our family do if something happens to us there?” Divyanshu Singh asked, who returned home this afternoon.
Mr. Singh said the government did not need to distribute flowers now if they act on time Videos have emerged showing Indian students beaten, kicked and not allowed to take the train Nearly 18,000 Indians, most of the students, were in Ukraine before the Russian invasion began on February 24. Thousands have managed to reach the house in evacuation flights As of March 8, India will fly more than 45 evacuation flights from neighboring countries Ukraine.
The Ministry of External Affairs, or MEA, has said arranging flights not the main concern because more flights will be available as long as Indians need to be evacuated, but reach the border of Western Ukraine from cities such as Kyiv and Kharkiv in the east are the main challenge in the midst of heavy battles between Ukrainian and Russian troops PM Modi spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin yesterday to review the situation in Ukraine and Indian evacuation efforts.
