No Threat for Indian Students in Russia? says Embassy
According to the indian embassy in russia, indian students studying in russia face no security threats and are free to return home if they so desire. In the cover of a special military operation, russia has been fighting its neighbour Ukraine. The assault is still going on for the 16th day. Many governments throughout the world have criticised the attack and slapped sanctions on russia as a result. There has been significant damage as a result of this. The worsening of banking and airline services is causing widespread anxiety.
In this context, the embassy has prepared instructions for indian students studying at Russian universities on its website. "Students may contemplate returning home, even if there are no security grounds to leave russia," the statement stated. Despite certain banking troubles in russia, direct flights between the two countries continue. students who want to return to the country for these reasons should think about it. There are no concerns to indian students' safety if they leave Russia. Concerns about the safety of indian citizens and students have been brought to the attention of the embassy.
Russia's universities have already shifted to distance learning via the Internet. students are encouraged to contact with their local universities and take whatever steps are necessary to continue their studies without interruption. " There are approximately 15,000 indian students in Russia. They are mostly medical students. russia has been a popular choice among indian students who desire to study medicine abroad because it is less expensive than Western countries.
