Earlier on Tuesday, the defence ministry of Ukraine had shared the details of this humanitarian corridor on its official Twitter handle. The ministry had alerted the students who have left Sumy and are travelling through Holubivka, Lokhvytsia, and Lubny cities to reach Poltova and that the said corridor will remain open from 10 am to 9 pm Ukraine time. Interestingly, the Ukraine ministry highlighted in red that it is the "only valid route", thus rejecting the corridor Russia had opened for Indian students.

As per the most recent updates, India has so far brought back over 17,100 of its nationals from Ukraine, while some Indian students are still reported to be stuck in the northeastern city of Sumy with their evacuation dependent on the facilitation of a safe passage by Russian and Ukrainian authorities.
