Prime Minister Narendra Modi has convened a high-level discussion on the Ukraine issue for Wednesday night.

India intensifies its attempts to evacuate its residents, the most of whom are students, from the country under Russian bombardment.

Since Sunday, Modi has attended a series of meetings to lead India’s attempts to safely return its citizens, claiming that this is his government’s top priority.

The Indian embassy in Ukraine had earlier in the day advised all Indian nationals to flee Kharkiv immediately to safe zones or further west.

Every Indian citizen would be repatriated from Ukraine, according to the ministry of external affairs.
