While the Ukraine crisis becomes more complex, India on Sunday asked the family members of its embassy staff in Ukraine to return home. The ministry has also advised its citizens whose stay is not essential to leave that country temporarily.
Official sources said families of Indian Embassy officials in Ukraine have been asked to return to India.
The move comes amid apprehensions by Western leaders that Russia was set to invade Ukraine soon as it deployed over 130,000 soldiers, heavy weapons and fighter jets along the Ukrainian border.
As tensions escalated between the NATO countries and Russia over the Ukraine crisis, the Indian embassy in Kyiv issued a fresh advisory in which it also asked all the Indian students to leave that country temporarily.
