New Delhi: Amid the Ukraine and Russia crises, people from around the world are glued to their television sets to watch the development between both countries. In Ukraine, many famous personalities are joining the army to support their country and boost the morale of their soldiers. Citizens of the worn-torn country are also seen standing in lines to do their part for the country.
They all have refused to surrender against the Russian invasion under the leadership of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The invasion has also created a big problem for Indians who are stranded there as they are struggling to return to India.
