VIJAYAWADA: Students from war-torn Ukraine started returning to Andhra Pradesh on Sunday afternoon. Two students, who landed at Vijayawada International Airport, received a grand welcome from their parents and government officials.
Sai Praneeth, a native of Lakshmi Puram in Guntur, is a final year MBBS student at Bukovinian State Medical University in Chernivtsi city. Speaking to TOI, Sai Praneeth said, “I was about to complete my medical course in a couple of months. But the war has affected my studies. We were holed up in a hostel building and spent sleepless nights until authorities contacted us. We were scared till we crossed the Romania border. Officials of the Indian embassy were very helpful.”
