New Delhi: Indian diaspora was advised to move away from conflict zones to the Western region subject to security situation and the extant regulations, Indian Embassy said on Sunday (February 27, 2022). 

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that he is "ready for talks with Russia, but not in Belarus." Russian forces have entered Kharkiv, Ukraine`s second-largest city, local officials said. There were now reports of fighting in the streets of Kharkiv. Russian troops had broken into the city in the past hour. 

The third evacuation flight carrying 240 Indians from Budapest has landed in the national capital on Sunday morning. Earlier, the second evacuation flight from the Romanian capital Bucharest carrying 250 Indian nationals who were stranded in Ukraine landed at the Delhi airport in the early hours of Sunday.

Two large explosions were heard in Ukraine`s capital Kyiv today morning. Two large explosions lit up the night sky to the southwest of Kyiv with one detonation that appeared to be approximately 20 kilometres, or about 12 miles, from the city centre. 

On the other hand, the United Nations said it has confirmed at least 240 civilian casualties, including at least 64 people killed, in the fighting in Ukraine that erupted since Russia's invasion on Thursday - though it believed the "real figures are considerably higher" because many reports of casualties remain to be confirmed.

Meanwhile, Russia closed its airspace to planes from Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and Slovenia, a move that comes as Moscow's ties with the West plunge to new lows over its invasion of Ukraine.
