40 Indian medical students reached Poland by walking 8 km because of the blast

Amidst the Russian attack on Ukraine, 40 Indian medical students have been able to reach the Ukraine-Poland border on foot by walking about 8 km. Amidst reports of an airstrike by a Russian fighter jet, these students, who could not come to India by air, were dropped by their college bus 8 km from the border with Poland.

Students from Lviv's Daynlo Halytsky Medical University, 70 km from the Polish border, wait to be evacuated from neighboring Ukraine, which has been battered by Russian attacks.

In a shared photo of one of the 40 Indian students hiking the Poland-Ukraine border, they can be seen walking in a line along an empty road.

The embassy has said that Indian nationals arriving at the Poland-Ukraine border by public transport are advised to cross the border at Shehini-Medyka and not at the Krakowiec crossing. According to the embassy, ​​the Krakowiec crossing is only for those who are reaching there by their own car.
