Amid the accusations of turning away its face in difficult times, for not making arrangements in time to bring 20,000 Indian youths, mostly students, in Ukraine back home safely, the Union government has released an advisory for students stranded in the Ukraine.
Saying that Indians in Ukraine are living in fear and apprehension, Congress chief spokesperson Randeep Surjewala also alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi was busy in electioneering and not taking care of their safety.
“Turning away its face in every difficult time…And remaining silent has become a habit of the Modi government. Our 20,000 Indian youths in Ukraine are forced to grapple with fear, apprehension and life threatening situations,” he said in a tweet in Hindi.
“Why were arrangements not made in time to bring them safely? Is this the ‘self-reliant’ mission,” Surjewala asked.

In its fresh advisory, the Indian embassy in Ukraine described the situation as highly uncertain.
“Please maintain calm and remain safe wherever you are, be it in your homes, hostels, accommodations or in transit… All those who are travelling to Kyiv, including those travelling from western parts of Kyiv, are advised to return to their respective cities, temporarily, especially towards safer places along the western bordering countries,” it said.
Russian troops launched their anticipated attack on Ukraine on Thursday, as President Vladimir Putin cast aside international condemnation and sanctions and warned other countries that any attempt to interfere would lead to consequences they had “never seen”.
Big explosions were heard before dawn in Kyiv, Kharkiv and Odesa.
At least 10 students from Karnataka stranded in Ukraine.
Earlier today, the Karnataka chief minister Basavaraj Bommai said at least ten students of the state are stranded in Ukraine, and the government is working with the Indian Embassy there and Ministry of External Affairs to bring them back home safely.
He said that he will also be speaking to External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar in this regard.
“At the time when war broke out between Russia and Ukraine, about hundred Indian students were on their way to the airport in two buses and got stranded, as the flights could not land. More than 10 are from Karnataka, we are gathering information about them,” Bommai said.
