Varia said that we understand the concern of the parents of the Indian students stranded in Ukraine and we are trying our best to bring the students back. He said the airline’s fare was the same as that of Tata-owned Air India. Stating that bringing back the students is a priority, Varia said they are planning to see if the students can be brought back to India or whether Indian nationals can be taken to the western part of Ukraine or adjoining border countries. .
Amid the ongoing tension between Russia and Ukraine, several airlines have announced to operate special flights, including Air India, to bring back Indian nationals safely. However, Ukraine’s airspace is currently closed.
Sunayna Pandit, Sales Manager, STIC Travel Group, which operates Ukraine International Airlines from India, said that we are in touch with many nearby countries in Ukraine. Flight services will be started after getting the permission of the government for this.
Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday recognized Ukraine’s two provinces, Donetsk and Luhansk, as independent entities. These two provinces were escalating the ongoing tension between Russia and Ukraine. Ukraine gained independence in 1991 after the dissolution of the Soviet Union.
Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday that a special military operation was being launched to protect people in the Donbass region. He also warned other countries that any attempt to interfere with Russian action would have disastrous consequences. Leaders of several countries, including the UK, US, Canada and the European Union, have condemned Russia’s military operations in the Donbass region.
