Russia-Ukraine war: Helplines issued for Indians stranded in Ukraine; check state-wise numbers

India has mounted a major diplomatic initiative to evacuate its nationals from Ukraine through its land border crossings after Russia launched a military assault on the eastern European nation. The Government of India and the Embassy of India, Kyiv in Ukraine are making efforts to help Indian nationals, especially students, stranded in Ukraine to evacuate.

As Russian troops bore down on Ukraine’s capital with gunfire and explosions resonating ever closer to the government quarter, anxiety among Indians living in the eastern European country and their family in India rose to inexplicable levels. The MEA shared details of four teams who are en route to borders with Poland, Slovakia, Romania and Hungary.

Many helpline numbers have been issued by the Government of India, Ministry of External Affairs and the Indian Embassy in Ukraine. Many state governments have also issued helpline numbers to help students from their regions to get in touch with their home states. A State wise list of helpline numbers have been provided below in the article.
