Reddy Nomula Satya Sreeja of Visakhapatnam and some other Indian students, who were holed up in a bunker at Kharkiv National Medical University (KNMU) in Ukraine for five days, finally came out of it and boarded a train to Lviv, located at a distance of 1,017 km, on Tuesday.
Ms. Sreeja had sent an SOS message late on Monday night that the situation was getting from bad to worse, and that they could hear the sound of shelling near the area in which their bunker was located.
“We don’t have water to drink and food to eat. There is no proper signal to contact and our parents are worried about us. The distance from Kharkiv to Hungary is 1,637 km, to Poland 1,403 km and to Romania 1,283 km,” she said.
