The Government of India on Saturday said it was "deeply concerned" about the students trapped in Sumy, on the frontline of Ukraine's war with Russia, and assured them that it was in talks with the two countries for a safe corridor for them after they threatened to march towards the border carrying the Indian Flag despite heavy bombing of the city.
"We are deeply concerned about Indian students in Sumy, Ukraine. Have strongly pressed Russian and Ukrainian governments through multiple channels for an immediate ceasefire to create a safe corridor for our students," Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Arindam Bagchi tweeted.
He urged the students to "stay inside shelters and avoid unnecessary risks".
