Offline classes were taken, and online classes were called for today after the train and flight stopped. The Russian army has arrived at Kiev International Airport. We can’t go anywhere. The malls here are getting empty. There is also a line in the ATM and money is missing. What would we do if the lights and the internet were turned off? How we will contact our family. We request the government send us back to India or a safer place.
