Living conditions have become challenging, with students often feeling ostracized and encountering difficulties in daily life. Their plea for transfer to other universities in different countries remains unfulfilled while they live in constant fear. Their situation highlights the multifaceted challenges they face amid a complex geopolitical landscape and a nation gripped by conflict.

The challenges for Indian students pursuing medical degrees in war-torn Ukraine show no signs of abating, as they grapple with increasing hostility from sections of the local population, who perceive India as supporting Russia in the ongoing conflict. The situation has escalated since Ukraine initiated its recent offensive operations in June.

          Well you said that the problem lays with India’s trade relations with Russia, and this is a thread about Indian students facing discrimination in Ukraine.

          Were you not justifying this discrimination based on India’s trade relationship?

          Yes… when you excuse xenophobia your validate it. So implicitly you said: That’s okay, they deserve it.
