As the world watched Russia invade its neighbor, Ukraine, on February 24, his university insisted that students should not leave. According to Kapil, the university conducted online classes from February 24 to February 27.
Currently, 700-800 Indian students are stuck in the university’s hostels. Besides, students from Kazakhstan, Nigeria, and other countries are also there, said Kapil.
In addition, Kapil said students are awakened by bombings at almost 7:30 am, leaving them alarmed and panicked.
In addition, he said that every night the power gets cut at 9 pm and gets restored at around 4 am. When the alarms go off, the electricity also goes out. The students use phone lights to get to their bunkers.
Kapil urged the government to evacuate them as soon as possible, saying Poland is 1,000 kilometers away from Sumy, making it nearly impossible for them to get there.
