Indian students stuck at the State Medical University in Sumy city of Ukraine are pleading to the Indian government to evacuate them immediately. Some of them mid-day spoke to say the attacks by the Russian forces have intensified and if they try to leave on their own, they might be killed. They added that there is limited power supply and the water connection has been disrupted, forcing them to go outside to collect snow.

Heavy bombings on Thursday night have battered the city, disrupting electricity supply for several hours, severing water connection and affecting the mobile network as well. They had to spend the night in the freezing temperature, students said.
