The Indian Government is making all efforts to bring back all Indians from Ukraine. 26 flights, including those of Indian Air Force, will be sent to evacuate around 5,500 more Indian nationals stranded in war-hit Ukraine and emergency helpline numbers have been rolled out.
As per the government sources, out of the estimated 20,000 Indian nationals in Ukraine, 60% (30% already reached India and 30% are in neighboring countries) have already crossed the Ukrainian border.
