India on Wednesday asked all its nationals in the besieged eastern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv to leave immediately for their safety and security. The Indian nationals in Kharkiv were asked to travel to other nearby Ukrainian cities such as Pesochin or to Bezlyudovka in Belgorod in Russia, according to an “urgent advisory” issued by the Indian embassy on Twitter. Russia’s ambassador-designate in New Delhi, Denis Alipov, told reporters on Wednesday that his country is working on creating “humanitarian corridors” so that Indian nationals in conflict zones can be pulled out to Russian territory. He also said Russia will investigate the incident that resulted in the death of the Indian student.

The advisory was issued amid reports of more explosions in Ukraine’s second largest city during a massive assault by Russian forces. Ukrainian authorities said the central parts of Kharkiv were being subjected to “massive shelling and bombing” and several administrative buildings collapsed after being hit by missiles. According to official estimates, some 4,000 Indians are stranded in Kharkiv, Sumy and other cities in eastern Ukraine due to the intense fighting and shelling by Russian forces. A final year medical student from India, Naveen Shekharappa Gyandagoudar, was killed in an attack by Russian forces in Kharkiv on Tuesday when he stepped out of a shelter to buy food.
An Indian medical student has died in war-hit Ukraine while being treated in hospital for an illness. Chandan Jindal, 21, had been studying in Ukraine's Vinnytsia for four years. He was from Punjab's Barnala. On February 2, he reportedly had a stroke and was admitted to the ICU. His parents gave their consent to his immediate surgery, and on February 7, Shishan Kumar and Krishna Kumar flew to Ukraine to be with him.
