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.
