The last big group of 600 Indian students evacuated from the northeastern Ukrainian city of Sumy has boarded a special train from Lviv for Poland. They are likely to board flights to India on Thursday.
The students reached Lviv in western Ukraine from Poltava on another special train.
“Ambassador flags off special train with 600 Indian students from Sumy University at Lviv Railway Station. They will travel to Poland and are expected to board evacuation flights to India tomorrow (Thursday). Be Safe Be Strong,” the Indian embassy in Ukraine said in a tweet on Wednesday.
Several videos emerged on social media showing the students holding Indian flags and raising “Bharat Mata ki Jai” slogans.
