On Tuesday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky spoke to the United Nations Security Council, stating that newly discovered massacres after the departure of Russian soldiers near Kyiv might be worse than those in Bucha, where even more than 300 civilians were tortured to death, according to him. As worldwide indignation grew over the fatalities, Western officials promised a broad probe into potential war offenses and increased consequences against Moscow.

President Biden urged for a war crimes prosecution on Monday in response to reports of rape and the slaughter of people in Bucha and other Russian-occupied towns, adding that Russian President Vladimir Putin should be held responsible.

According to the administration, at least 15-20 Indians remain in conflict-torn Ukraine and are awaiting evacuation. It stated that “Operation Ganga” rescue missions “are not over.” “We are assisting these individuals in whatever way we can. There are still some individuals in Kherson. Operation Ganga is still ongoing, and we are assisting anybody who wishes to be evacuated.” Arindam Bagchi, the spokesperson for the Foreign Ministry, stated in a press conference. Kherson is located in the south of Ukraine.

When hostilities in Ukraine rose, the Indian embassy in Kyiv launched a registration campaign for Indians in January, and by the end of the month, 20,000 Indians – largely students – had signed up. More than half the students were enrolled at colleges in eastern Ukraine, which borders Russia, according to Foreign Minister S Jaishankar. So far, this region has been the focus of the war.

Till now, 22,500 evacuated from Ukraine, among which some were in isolated pockets and some don’t want to return.

As Ukraine continues to experience the impact of Russia’s escalated attacks, Russian soldiers have encircled the beleaguered city of Mariupol. Russia has been blamed by Ukraine and other countries for an attack on a children’s hospital in Ukraine that killed three people, along with a toddler, and wounded others. Since the beginning of the Russian invasion, at least 79 children have been killed and another 100 have been injured, according to the Ukrainian media outlet ‘The Kyiv Independent,’ quoting the Prosecutor General’s Office (PGO).

According to AFP, Ukraine confirmed on Saturday that a mosque in Mariupol sheltering 80 people had been bombarded. As Russia’s assault on the military conflicted country progresses, the people of Ukraine continue to tolerate the blow.

The pupils were also transported by buses and cars. Late Sunday, the Indian embassy in Kyiv announced that a team of diplomats had been positioned in Poltava.

As the devastation from Moscow’s assault grew, Ukraine and Russia made minimal headway in negotiations Monday but failed to achieve an agreement on building “humanitarian corridors” from ravaged cities. The third round of discussions, which aimed at providing people with escape routes from encircled towns, yielded “good outcomes,” according to Kyiv, while Russia started its objectives from the negotiations were “not met.”

Today, Ukraine agreed to Russia’s request to establish humanitarian corridors.

Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that he is not dispatching conscripts or reservists to participate, and that the conflict in Ukraine is being led by “professional” forces with “defined aims.”

International medical students who have not completed their internships owing to exceptional situations beyond their power, such as Covid and the continuing Ukraine war, can complete them in India after passing a screening exam, according to India’s medical regulating agency. The National Medical Commission (NMC) stated in a bulletin that due to the “agony and stress” these students encounter, their forms may be handled by state health councils if the applicants have passed the Foreign Medical Graduate Examination prior to trying to apply for internship closure in India.

Thousands of Indian med students in Ukraine would profit from the decision, which came after Russia began a massive invasion of the ex-Soviet republic, forcing them to quit their education and relocate to India.
