As the Indian government issued an urgent all-caps appeal to its citizens to immediately leave Ukraine's second-largest city Kharkiv, first-hand accounts of students stranded at the railway station gave a glimpse into their desperate situation. "Right now it's shelling on our head. It's too bad a situation. There is no bunker nearby. It's fully open. We had a train in front of us but they are not allowing us. One or two gates opened for Ukrainian people. Just for them. And for us there are guns, bullets but no trains," an Indian student Pragun told NDTV.
