GUWAHATI: A group of about 40 students from Assam, all from the Sumy State University, crossed capital Kyiv without any hindrance and are set to reach the Poland border on Wednesday evening. Unfortunately, the students had to leave behind many of their cherished belongings, including books, which they fear would be lost forever in Russian shelling. Many of these students may never return to their university.
“I am carrying my education documents and two pairs of clothes. Finding accommodation in transport vehicles and trains is more important than carrying luggage. The train we boarded in Poltava on Tuesday night for Lviv through Kyiv was packed to the brim,” said Nilom Kolita, a fifth year medical student.
