Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi, a member of the government, said on Wednesday that Congress was making a political issue out of Indian citizens who are stuck in Ukraine.
“People in the government are always trying to get an Indian student from Ukraine to come home. On the other hand, the Congress party runs for office in a crisis like this. A stupid person is the only one who is to blame for this. Our main goal is to bring Indian citizens home safely, “Naqvi said that.

While that was happening, Prime Minister Narendra Modi held a high-level meeting on Wednesday.
Indian Union Ministers S Jaishankar and Piyush Goyal were there, along with National Security Advisor Ajit Doval, Foreign Secretary Harsh Vardhan Shringla, and other government officials.
During the last few days, the Prime Minister has been in charge of important meetings about the issue.
On February 24, three days after Russia said that Ukraine’s breakaway regions, Donetsk and Luhansk, were separate countries, Russian forces started to fight in Ukraine.
Many countries, including the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, and the European Union, have called for Russia to stop its military operations in Ukraine and have put sanctions on the country.
These countries have also agreed to help Ukraine fight back against Russia with military aid, and they will do so.
There was a deal made by the US, Canada, and other European allies to remove some critical Russian banks from the interbank messaging system, SWIFT.
This means that Russian banks will not communicate securely with other banks outside Russia’s borders.
President Putin has also signed a decree that says the U.S. and its allies will pay more for things.
