LUCKNOW: After being stuck for four days, several Indian students living in bunkers in Kyiv, Ukraine, rushed to board trains to somehow reach the border for evacuation, as soon as curfew was lifted in the capital city on Monday.
MBBS students and friends from Lucknow, Anshika Pandey from Jankipuram and Shreya Singh from Aliganj had been struggling to leave war-torn Kyiv. However, curfew and chaos had stopped their movement.
On Monday morning, Shreya finally boarded the train with great difficulty after making her way through a crowd. Anshika had to wait till evening at the railway station to begin her journey from eastern Ukraine to the western side towards the Romanian border from where evacuation is being done.
