Amidst Russia-Ukraine War, the Indian Embassy in Russia has made a statement that Indian students in Russia do not have to plan a return to their homes due to any security reasons.
The ongoing war, and the state of Indian students in Ukraine, has caused the students and other Indian citizens in Russia to fear the same fate of getting stuck in the country in future. The officials in Moscow have been continuously receiving letters from students seeking advice on steps that need to be undertaken to ensure their security.
The Embassy reverted to these inquiries with assurance, that it is in regular touch with relevant authorities, and has regular updates and forecasts on the current situation.
