New Delhi, Feb 22: Amid escalating tensions between Russia and Ukraine, Indian embassy in Kyiv on Tuesday once again advises Indian students to leave Ukraine.

Russia’s decision to recognize two breakaway regions in eastern Ukraine as independent and order its army to launch a “peacekeeping operation” into the area has accelerated the crisis.

“India wants a solution through talks, and peace to be established. I am sure a solution will emerge following talks between Russian President Putin and US President Biden. India is in favour of maintaining international peace,” said Defence Minister Rajnath Singh.
