Even before the sun rose, medical students from Indore studying in Ukraine woke up with the horrific sound of a bomb blast. Before they could gain consciousness and understand the situation, a wave of panic took over as the news of a missile attack from Russia and bombardment continued for a while.
The situation remained tough for the day as students struggled to find a way to evacuate from the country. A group of 60 students gathered in front of the Indian Embassy seeking help to leave the country.
Though Indore coordinator Jitendra Sahu and other facilitators had sent a flight to bring back students under the evacuation plan, the flight returned empty, as the international airport was shut down.
As bombarding controlled, students sought some food but the markets have run out of even bread, which is a staple diet for most students from Indore.
Parents Plead to bring back their Kids
As students panicked there, their parents back in Indore panicked more and were worried about losing their children forever. Sunita and Dr Rajesh Tripathi whose sons are in Ukraine, just about 20 kilometres from the epicentre of attack, reached out to all the possible connections and authorities to bring back their sons.
Living for about eight years in Ukraine, medical students were in the last phase of their training to become a qualified doctor. They had an idea about evacuation, but the attacks threw everyone off balance.
Cyber attack expected next, students expecting net shut-down
Medical students are citing possible cyber attack next, which means an entire shutdown of communication with their family members. The crisis of survival and connectivity has put everyone in a tough situation.
Students urge Indian Embassy to rescue them
Medical students now stuck with no food and responsibility of their parents back home in Indore, urging Indian embassy to evacuate them. Dharmendra Gurjar, Sourabh, Digvijay Patil , Hemant Sharma, Shubham Pandey, Yash Kanojiya, Abhishek Patidar and many more were among students from Indore.
“We are all acting brave for everyone. We are doctors, warriors for the world. However, we have responsibility towards our country and family. We urge Prime Minister to evacuate us.”
Hrishikesh Tripathi
“Situation here is tough. We don’t even know if we will be able to get our next meal. We are looking at India, our motherland, to bring us home.”
Mohit Sharma
“We have to be strong for everyone. I just hope we get out before communication ties also cut off. It’s a much tougher situation for our parents.”
Eshank Tripathi
“We are controlling panic, being doctors and trained for the same. However, the situation needs quick help from Indian government for its citizens.”

“Indian embassy had already informed students and coordinators to evacuate students, as India is on good terms with both Ukraine and Russia. The evacuation was in process. However, the chartered flight on Feb 15 was blocked and another one today. We are sending the next flight on Feb 28, hoping to bring back all the students now as per plans by the end of Feb.”
