The Indian Embassy in Kyiv said the schedule of special flights were cancelled as Ukrainian airspace has been closed.
As Ukraine closed its airspace amid escalating tensions with Russia, the Indian government says alternative arrangements are being made to evacuate Indian nationals from Ukraine.
This is a far cry from the position of the Nigerian government, which asked its citizens in troubled Ukraine to “be responsible for their security and safety”. Russia had on Thursday launched a full-scale attack on Ukraine after demanding an end to NATO’s eastward expansion, saying Ukrainian membership of the US-led Atlantic military alliance was unacceptable.
But in an advisory, the Indian Embassy in Kyiv said the schedule of special flights were cancelled as Ukrainian airspace has been closed.“Alternative arrangements are being made for the evacuation of Indian nationals. Embassy will convey information as soon as such arrangements are finalized, so that Indian nationals can relocate to the western part of the country. Please carry your passports and necessary documents on your person at all times,” the embassy said in the advisory.
