Students from Kashmir studying in Ukraine on Thursday said the colleges there have stopped on-campus teaching but they were "feeling safe though uncertain about the upcoming situation", in the wake of the Russian military operation on the borders.
Imtiyaz Ahmad Tantary, 23, a second year student pursuing medicine at the Kharkiv National Medical University, said the situation was normal till Wednesday but things started changing during the night.
“We heard two loud sounds in the night. It was far off from our place. The sounds apparently came from the border side with Russia. This was unusual for us,” Mr. Tantary, from north Kashmir’s Magam area, told The Hindu over phone from Kharkiv in northeastern Ukraine.
