Ukraine crisis: Govt mulls more flights to bring students
Russian troops partially pulled out of the border areas with Ukraine but tensions remained high as US President Joe Biden warned that “we are ready to respond decisively to a Russian attack on Ukraine, which is still very much a possibility”.
Moscow also suggested that the danger of a conflict had not waned and warned of a provocation from neo-Nazis and armed Ukrainian forces amassed around two Russian-populated provin-ces in Ukraine collectively known as Donbass.
The uncertain situation, despite the partial pullback of Russian troops, compelled the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) to set up a control room especially for the benefit of anxious parents of about 20,000 Indian students studying mainly medicine in Ukraine.
