The Indian Embassy in Poland has advised citizens in western Ukraine to travel to Budomierz border checkpoint a relatively quick entry into Poland as Russia mounts offensive in eastern Ukraine. Alternatively, they are advised to travel south to transit via Hungary or Romania, the embassy said in an advisory issued Wednesday morning.
India’s External affairs minister S Jaishankar informed that six flights have departed for India in the last 24 hours, including the first flights from Poland, carrying 1377 Indian nationals from Ukraine. Thousands of citizens remain stuck in the war-hit region as they try to cross the international border to enter neighbouring Poland, Hungary and Romania.
The Indian Embassy has deployed officials in Medyka and Budomierz border checkpoints to receive all evacuees and facilitate their travel to India.
