PUNE: Monica Maruti Dabhade (25), who would have completed her MBBS course from Odessa National Medical University in Ukraine in May this year, is caught between Russia’s waging war and her academic ambitions.
Now that she has returned safely to India from war-hit Ukraine, Dabhade feels she is staring vaguely at the crossroads ahead with no one to hold her hands. “My final examination is due in May but now I will not be able to appear for it. I do not know how am I going to complete the course. There has been no communication neither from the Ukraine government nor the Indian so far,” said Monica, whose father drives an autorickshaw in Lonavla.
