In an effort to evacuate stranded Indian nationals from war-torn Ukraine, Air India is today operating two flights from Delhi to Bucharest (Romania) and Budapest (Hungary).
“Based upon inputs from the Ministry of External Affairs on the emerging situation in Ukraine, Air India will operate two flights from Delhi to Bucharest (Romania) and Budapest (Hungary) tomorrow, that is, February 26. Air India shall be operating VBM flights,” Air India informed.
Local media reported Friday that several explosions were heard in the Ukrainian capital as Russia entered the second day of a special military operation. On Monday, Russian President Vladimir Putin recognized separate regions of Ukraine – Donetsk and Luhansk – as independent entities.
Later, Putin ordered special military operations to “protect” the people in the Donbas region. Several countries, including the UK, US, Canada and the European Union, have condemned Russia’s military operations and imposed sanctions on Moscow.
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.
