India relocates Embassy in Kyiv to Poland

Amid the rapidly deteriorating security situation in Ukraine, India has decided to temporarily relocate its embassy in Ukraine to Poland.

“In view of the rapidly deteriorating security situation in Ukraine, including attacks in the western parts of the country, it has been decided that the Indian Embassy in Ukraine will be temporarily relocated in Poland. The situation will be reassessed in the light of further developments,” said the Ministry of External Affairs of India.

Meanwhile, Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk announced that 10 humanitarian corridors for the evacuation of citizens will operate on March 14.

"Ten humanitarian corridors have been agreed upon for today [Monday]," Vereshchuk said in a video address on her Telegram. The corridors will be to both the Kyiv region and the Donetsk region.

Within the space of 15 days, the military offensive in Ukraine has triggered the fastest-growing displacement crisis since World War II.
