India is mulling over ways to evacuate its citizens from Ukraine through its neighbouring countries including Poland, Romania, Hungary and the Slovak Republic. The East European nation came under attack by Russia last Thursday. A few days ago the country claimed that its airspace was space for airlines to operate before shutting it down yesterday.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has reportedly sought Russian President Vladimir Putin’s assistance in evacuating the citizens of India. Reports also suggest that India’s External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar is also likely to talk to the Foreign Minister of Poland, Romania, Hungary and the Slovak Republic to transport stranded students and other citizens through other neighbouring East European countries.
