Residents of Ukraine tank up amid uncertainty and fear

Ukraine says 'around 50 Russian occupiers' have been killed.

Ambassador of Ukraine to India Dr Igor Polikha pleads for India's intervention in the crisis.

"At the present moment, we're asking, pleading for support of India. In case of aggression of totalitarian regime against democratic state, India should fully assume its global role. Modiji is one of the most powerful and respected leaders in the world.

"I don't know how many world leaders Putin may listen to but status of Modiji makes me hopeful that in case of his strong voice, Putin at least should think over. We are expecting for much more favourable attitude of the Indian govt."

The Ministry of External Affairs is currently holding high-level meetings, sources said on Thursday as the situation continues to escalate near the Ukrainian border after Russia launched its military operations in the Donbas region.
