Under all circumstances they must reach these settlements by 1800 hrs (Ukranian time) today.”
Earlier, the embassy in Warsaw also sent an advisory to Indians in Ukraine. "Indians presently in Lviv and Ternopil and other places in western Ukraine may travel at the earliest to Budomierz border check-point for a relatively quick entry into Poland," it said. “Alternatively, they are advised to travel south to transit via Hungary or Romania.”
It urged Indians to avoid the Shehyni-Medyka border crossing as it continues to be congested.
"Those who enter Poland from any other border crossing where Indian officials are not deployed may kindly travel directly to Hotel Prezydencki, ul. Podwislocze 48 in Rzeszow where all arrangements have been made for their stay and from where Operation Ganga flights to India are being operated regularly," added the embassy in Warsaw. The transportation charges will be paid at the hotel by the Embassy, in case the Indian student does not have the funds.
