Russian troops are holding thousands of international students in Ukraine “hostage” by relentlessly shelling cities like Sumy, Chernihiv, Mariupol, and Khersoni, according to Ukrainian officials.
“Ignoring the appeal of the leaders of these countries asking to provide humanitarian corridors to students, Russians enjoy humiliation of whole countries,” Iryna Vereshchuk, deputy prime minister of Ukraine, wrote on Facebook on Monday.
