India: Embassy In Ukraine Shuts After Attempts To Evacuate Indians From Kyiv

NEW DELHI, 02 March 2022, (TON): Sources have said “the Indian embassy in Ukraine's capital Kyiv has shut down and the Ambassador and the staff are on their way to the western part of the country.”

India has been advising students and others to move to the western borders, a process that has been extremely challenging given the security situation.

The embassy in Kyiv shut down after it did its best to ensure there are no Indians left in the city. Satellite imagery indicates that the city imminently faces a large incoming Russian invasion force.

The government said all Indians have left Kyiv, where a massive Russian bombardment is expected tomorrow.

Sources said “the Indian embassy would likely be relocated to western Ukraine's Lviv now, for which office space has been identified.”

The embassy staff are on the road to western Ukraine and communication with them is spotty.
