Flying people back from peaceful nations is not "evacuation", contended a busload of students who landed in India from Ukraine today under the government's Operation Ganga. Help was needed when they were in Ukraine, they told NDTV, recounting the conflicting advice on Indian embassy helplines, the long walks in the cold amid the fighting, waiting for days at the border without food or water and the battle to get across it. "We do not want free flights. We need help to reach the border and cross it," was the refrain. "Now that we are here, it is being called evacuation," said one student who had to make her way back from Odessa, where the Ukrainian naval base was among the first to be attacked by Russian forces.
