A DAY after the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) sent teams to Ukraine’s western borders, the Centre on Friday focussed its efforts on evacuating Indian nationals via flights from Romania and Hungary.
With Ukraine closing its airspace, the government is making arrangements to send Air India flights on Saturday, from Delhi and Mumbai, to Bucharest in Romania and Budapest in Hungary. Sources said operation of these flights is subject to approvals from authorities in Romania and Hungary.
India is seeking to evacuate its nationals through Ukraine’s land borders with Hungary, Poland, Slovak Republic and Romania, from where they will be flown home.
