In view of the prevailing situation in Ukraine, the Ministry of External Affairs has set up a Control Room to provide information and assistance to Indians in Ukraine.

Additionally, Indian Embassy in Ukraine has set up a 24*7 Emergency Helpline to assist Indians in Ukraine, informed the Ministry of External Affairs.

Amid ongoing tension between Russia and Ukraine which has kept the world on tenterhooks (with West warning that an invasion by Russia could be imminent), many countries have asked their citizen to leave Ukraine fearing growing uncertainties in the region. However, the Ukrainian Ambassador to India, Igor Polikha during an interview with Indian Media appreciating India’s balanced position (that Indians ‘may consider’ leaving Ukraine temporarily unlike some embassies urging their citizens to leave Ukraine immediately), said that there is no threat to Indian nationals in the country and there is no reason to panic.

“Taking into account active negotiations that are underway, I don’t see any immediate reason for a massive evacuation of Indian students in Ukraine. They should monitor the situation but should not panic,” the Ukrainian Ambassador said during his discussion with Indian Media.

The statement by the Ukrainian Ambassador came after Indian Embassy in Kyiv issued a travel advisory for its nationals, particularly students whose stay is not necessary, to leave Ukraine temporarily.

“Indian nationals are requested to keep the Embassy informed about the status of their presence in Ukraine to enable the embassy to reach them where required,” the new travel advisory stated.
