As Russia strikes Ukraine's western region, India has decided to temporarily relocate its Ukrainian embassy to Poland. The primary reason behind this decision is the rapidly deteriorating security and humanitarian situation in the war-torn nation.

The decision comes amidst increasing Russian attacks on Kyiv, the Ukrainian capital and several other prominent cities.

The Ministry of External Affairs said that "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 to Poland".

"The situation will be reassessed in the light of further developments," the brief statement added.
