India’s Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said on Thursday that 18 more flights were scheduled in next 24 hours which will bring back Indians stranded in Ukraine.
“We are scheduling more flights and a large number of Indians will be back home in the next 2-3 days. I would like to appreciate the Ukrainian government and the neighboring countries for hosting our people and providing support in evacuating them,” said Arindam Bagchi, spokesperson of MEA.
He said that a total of 18,000 Indian national had left Ukraine since first advisory issued by India.
India has launched ‘Operation Ganga’ to bring back citizens from Ukraine which is currently under Russian attack. Bagchi said that 30 flights have brought 6400 Indians back to homeland.
“This increased number of flights reflects the large number of Indians who have crossed over from Ukraine and are now in the neighboring countries. We will further step up efforts to bring all these Indian nationals back to India at the earliest,” said Bagchi.
