Kyiv: Indian embassy in Kyiv has advised its citizens not to move to any of the border posts without prior coordination with GoI officials at border posts.
” All Indian Citizens in Ukraine are advised to not move to any of the border posts without prior coordination with Government of India officials at the border posts (helpline numbers established) and the Emergency numbers of Embassy of India, Kyiv.
The situation at various border checkpoints is sensitive and the Embassy is working continuously with our Embassies in our neighbouring countries for coordinated evacuation of our citizens. Embassy is finding it increasingly difficult to help the crossing of those Indian nationals who reach border checkpoints without prior Intimation.
Please note, staying in western cities of Ukraine with access of water, food, accommodation and basic amenities is relatively safer and advisable compared to reaching border check points without being fully abreast of the situation.
All those currently in the Eastern sector are requested to continue to remain In their current places of residence until further instructions, maintain calm, and stay indoors or in shelters as much as possible, with whatever food, water and amenities available and remain patient Avoid unnecessary movement
We once again remind you to exercise caution at all times, be aware of your surroundings and the recent developments, ” read the statement put up by the India embassy in Kyiv.
