- Earlier, Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said that 15 flights have reached India in the last 24 hours. In these, about 2900 Indians have been evacuated. 63 flights have so far reached India carrying around 13,300 Indians under Operation Ganga. There are 13 more flight schedules in the next 24 hours.
- He said that now we will see how many more Indians are still in Ukraine. The embassy will contact those who are likely to be there but have not yet registered.
All Indians expelled from Kharkiv-Pisochin
Bagchi said that almost all Indian citizens have been evacuated from Kharkiv city of Ukraine. In the next few hours we will evacuate all the people from Pisochin and Kharkiv. As far as I know there are no Indians left in Kharkiv. Now our main focus is on Sumi. The continuing violence and lack of traffic are major challenges there. The best option is a ceasefire.
