KOCHI: After 13 days of uncertainty, as many as 694 Indian students, including nearly 400 Malayalis, finally left the war-torn Sumy city in Ukraine as the Indian embassy managed to successfully carry out their evacuation when Russia announced a ceasefire in five cities again on Tuesday.
Ukraine’s ministry of external affairs on Tuesday morning confirmed that a humanitarian corridor was opened following the ceasefire announced by Russia. Following this, the students were evacuated in more than 10 buses that were waiting at the Sumy State University since Monday morning.
