World War III: Indian Government Rooting Alternatives To Rescue Citizens While Nigerian Government Tells Citizens To…….

The Indian government says alternate plans are being arranged to remove Indian citizens from Ukraine as Ukraine closes its airspace due to growing tensions with Russia.

The Nigerian government, on the other hand, has asked its people in Ukraine to “be responsible for their security and safety.”

After demanding a halt to NATO’s eastward expansion, Russia began a full-scale attack on Ukraine on Thursday, claiming that Ukrainian membership in the US-led Atlantic military alliance was unacceptable.

However, the Indian Embassy in Kyiv issued a notice saying that special flights had been canceled due to the closure of Ukrainian airspace.

However, it stated that alternate plans for evacuating its inhabitants were being put together.

In the advisory, the embassy stated, “Alternative arrangements are being made for the evacuation of Indian nationals. Embassy will convey information as soon as such arrangements are finalized, so that Indian nationals can relocate to the western part of the country. Please carry your passports and necessary documents on your person at all times.”

The government advised Indians in Ukraine to keep an eye on the embassy’s website as well as its social media accounts on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter for updates.

It also included a list of five embassy helplines that Indian nationals might call for support.

Instead, the Nigerian government, led by President Muhammadu Buhari, has advised its nationals in Ukraine to be extremely careful and responsible for their own protection and safety.

In a statement dated February 24, the Nigerian Embassy said, “The attention of the Embassy has been drawn to the declaration of a state of emergency and Martial law on the entire territory of Ukraine except the Donetsk and Luhansk regions by the government of Ukraine, effective from midnight of February 23, 2022, for a period of 30 days, as well as the latest development on the Ukraine-Russia crises.

“In view of the development, the embassy urges Nigerian Nationals resident in Ukraine to remain calm but very vigilant and be responsible for their security and safety.

“The embassy wishes to add that should any Nigerian National consider the situation as emotionally disturbing, such National may temporarily relocate to anywhere considered safe by private arrangement. They should, however, ensure that they do all the needful to validate all their resident documents for ease of return to the country when desired.

“Students seeking temporary relocation are enjoined to seek proper clearance and guarantee form from their respective institutions during this period.

“For those who are still considering it appropriate to remain in the country, be rest assured that the embassy remains open for its consular duties and responsibilities at all times.”
