In light of the increasing tensions in Ukraine, the Indian embassy in Kyiv issued another advisory on Wednesday urging all Indian citizens to “immediately leave Ukraine by available means”.

The fresh advisory was released less than a week after a comparable warning in response to the deteriorating security situation in Ukraine.

The embassy’s official statement said, “In continuation of the advisory issued by the embassy on October 19, all Indian citizens in Ukraine are advised to immediately leave Ukraine by available means.”

The embassy has also requested that Indian nationals get in touch with them if they need any advice or help to leave the country by heading to the Ukrainian border.

“They may contact the embassy at the following numbers for any guidance/assistance, if required, to travel to the border: +380933559958, +380635917881, +380678745945,” the latest advisory said.

The embassy added that stranded citizens may also seek assistance from the embassy’s official website. It also stated that they may seek assistance from Indian embassies in Romania, Poland, Hungary, and Slovakia.

Due to the recent escalation of the hostilities, the embassy issued an advisory on October 19 advising Indian nationals against travelling Ukraine. It also advised Indian nationals, including students, in Ukraine to leave at the earliest by available means.

On October 10, the Indian Embassy in Kyiv had advised Indian nationals to avoid non-essential travel to and within Ukraine.

Meanwhile, the latest Russian bombardment of the eastern Donetsk area resulted in at least seven civilian deaths and three further injuries, according to Tuesday’s statement from Ukraine’s Presidential Office.

In addition to shelling other regions in the Donetsk region, which is a part of the Donbas industrial heartland of Ukraine, the strikes took place as the Russians intensified their advance towards the strategically important towns of Bakhmut and Avdiivka.
