Poland had delivered buses to the border for students evacuated from Sumi. The Polish police provided security and security.
With the announcement of a ceasefire by Russia, including Sumi, Indian students were repatriated for the first time through a humanitarian corridor. Ukraine provided facilities for students in Sumi. After boarding the train from there, he was sent with his passport checked. Students who have reached the Polish border now have to complete the process here.

The 694 Indian students who had been trapped in Sumi for two weeks were brought safely to Poltava yesterday. The students were then taken by train to the western city of Lviv, then to the Polish border. With this, India’s rescue mission in Ukraine is nearing a comfortable conclusion.
The distance from Sumi to the central Ukrainian city of Poltova is 174 km. The journey usually takes three and a half hours. However, the complex rescue mission across the battlefield took more than twice as long to get the students to Poltava as usual. Many of the students who have spent two weeks in bunkers and basements are very tired. The humanitarian corridor was finally opened after India’s ongoing diplomatic talks with Russia and Ukraine. India is set to become the first country to successfully evacuate its citizens through a high-profile humanitarian corridor, which was initially a concern.
After the Indian students, about 5,000 foreigners and natives escaped from Sumi and arrived in Poltava. The Indian students, who were traveling by train from Poltava, arrived at the western border town of Lviv after arriving at the Polish border. Russia’s announcement of a ceasefire yesterday also facilitated the students’ continued journey. A Russian military spokesman said all major cities would be closed and there would be no attacks on human corridors. The Ministry of External Affairs had said that it was ready to repatriate Indian students to Poland, including by air. India’s Operation Ganga is nearing a successful conclusion as more Ukrainians cross the border on the Sumi rescue mission.
