It was a moment of relief for the five Tamil Nadu students studying in Ukraine and their families, when the students landed in Chennai on Sunday morning after being successfully evacuated from the country that is fighting an invasion from Russia.
All the five were students of the Bukovinian State Medical University, situated in the western region of Ukraine, close to its border with Romania. This region was relatively less affected in the ongoing war, compared to the eastern region of the country that shares a border with Russia.
The students were brought to the Romanian border by bus, following which they were taken to the airport in Bucharest in Romania, before being flown to Delhi and then Chennai, the students said.
