Indian Girl Students Get Safe Passage From Kharkiv As PM Speaks To Putin
Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke to Russian President Vladimir Putin today and discussed the situation in the eastern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv, where over a thousand Indian students are stranded. Kharkiv is virtually under Russian control and the girl students have already been sent on their way to Ukraine's western border by train -- a 20-hour journey -- with the help of Russians, government sources told NDTV. Efforts are on to evacuate the boys also, sources said shortly before the 6 pm deadline was about to expire.
