Local media reported Friday that several explosions were heard in the Ukrainian capital as Russia entered the second day of a special military operation.
Tensions between the two countries escalated on Monday after Putin recognized separate regions of Ukraine – Donetsk and Luhansk – as independent entities. Ukraine gained independence in 1991 after the dissolution of the Soviet Union.
Amid the ongoing crisis in Ukraine, several airlines are operating special flights, including Air India, to bring back Indian nationals safely. In the coming days for Indian citizens, more flights are going to be operated from Ukraine (Kiev) amid tension in the country.
