A day earlier, the Indian government had said that Sumy city in eastern Ukraine remains the biggest focus and also cause of concern. Many students stuck in Sumy have been unable to leave due to fierce fighting, even as they struggle with lack of food and water and other necessities. On March 4, the Indian government had estimated that there were around 700 students in Sumy.
