Video footage of Indian students being evacuated from Ukraine in the middle of the Russia crisis has gone viral owing to their antics
We live in dark and unsavoury times, a narrative which has been paid testament to by the ongoing crisis which has erupted in Ukraine after Russia decided to invade the country.
As Ukraine reeled under waves of attack from the way mightier Russian army with NATO and the West abandoning them, the country’s citizens fled the land in a bid to ensure their safety and life. Stranded along with the locals were around 18,000 Indian students, a magnitude of whom had gone to study medicine to the country.
Despite persistent warnings from the Indian Foreign Ministry and embassy in Ukraine, imploring Indians in the country to head back home since February 16, students had decided to stay back for some reason best known to them. And as things regressed, they were seen berating the Indian government after Air India Flights flew back almost empty from Ukraine on February 19 and 22 as Indians refused to leave.

With the Ukraine air space closed, the Indian government worked in tandem with Russia, Ukraine, Romania, Poland and neighbouring countries to ensure safe passage back to the country. Students were taken to border countries in buses ensuing which flights were charted at the expense of the government to bring the students back home.
However, unperturbed by the rampant killing or the large scale efforts being carried out by India to fly them back home, students were seen partaking in shenanigans. A video has gone viral on social media platforms, one where a string of students in a bus are seen sarcastically talking about how scared they are and mocking the ongoing war as they head to Poland.
Sad and dark times with this bemusing future generation set to be the cause of further such wars.
