Since the war broke out between Ukraine and Russia, it’s the very first time that, on Thursday, Russia made a statement about Indian students who left Ukraine.
In the statement, Russia said Indian students who left Ukraine without completing their education can continue in Russia as both countries’ syllabus is the same.
Due to war between the two countries, thousands of Indian students left the country hanging their future on a cliff.
“As far as students are concerned, students keep going to Russia for studies. It is an upward trend. More and more students are applying for scholarships in Russia,” the Russian diplomat said.
Meanwhile, Avdeev also appreciated EAM S Jaishankar’s remark about Russian oil imports.
“The Indian government is a responsible govt and it has to look after the interests of Indian consumers.”
Since the beginning of this year, the exports in Russian oil have increased from 2 to 22 pc. It is a very dramatic increase and now Russia has displaced Iraq and Saudi Arabia as leading producers of oil,” Oleg Avdeev said.
Earlier on Tuesday, EAM Jaishankar talked about the relationship between India and Russia and said, “India’s relationship with Russia has worked to its advantage and New Delhi would like to keep that going.”
Notably, on 24 February, Russia launched a military operation in Ukraine, after which Moscow recognized Ukraine’s breakaway regions – Donetsk and Luhansk-as independent entities.
