VISAKHAPATNAM: Everything was going fine for the Indian students in Ukraine until Russia pressed a full-blown invasion on February 24. From suffering panic moments in my city (Ivano-Frankivsk) to crossing the Ukraine border, everything was ghastly terrifying and struggling.
I woke up around 5am on February 24 to the stentorian sounds coming from the neighbourhood. I never expected (Russian President Vladimir) Putin would wish good morning via missile attacks, airstrikes, and bomb shelling.
