The Ministry of External Affairs has advised Indians against travelling to Ukraine. In a late-evening notice, the MEA said: "In view of the deteriorating security situation and the recent escalation of hostilities across Ukraine, Indian nationals are advised against travelling to Ukraine. Indian citizens, including students, in Ukraine, were advised to leave Ukraine at the earliest." 

Last Monday, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA)



had issued another advisory to the Indian nationals residing in Ukraine to avoid non-essential travel in view of the escalating situation in the country. The MEA advised Indian nationals to adhere to the security guidelines issued by the Ukrainian government. 

The advisory further asked the nationals to keep the Indian Embassy in Ukraine informed about their whereabouts and locations, so that they can be reached if the need arises.
