Sumi: The evacuation of Indians stranded in the Ukrainian city of Sumi has been stopped. The evacuation was halted following reports of bombings on the way to evacuate Indians. The Indian embassy’s move was to remove students from Sumi as soon as possible after the Russian military declared a ceasefire. The embassy intervened to bring the buses to Sumi and while the students were boarding the buses, the embassy instructed the on-site student agents to immediately stop the rescue mission.
It was decided to get the girls out in the first place. The rescue operation was halted following reports of shelling on the way to the Dutch border, although all the girls boarded buses. All students were asked to return to their bunkers.
Russia has declared a ceasefire in all major Ukrainian cities to help civilians escape. Russian military sources said security corridors would be set up to evacuate people. As the war began, millions of people trapped in various Ukrainian cities watched the announcement with anticipation.
