Earlier in a video message, Pakistani students stranded in Ukrainian city Sumy had sought help from the government to evacuate them amid escalation of fighting between Ukraine and Russia.
The student, Noman, said they belonged to Pakistan and they were badly stuck in Sumy, which had been under attack for three days.
“We have several times contacted the Pakistani embassy in Ukraine, but got no positive response. We appeal to the government of Pakistan to help us and evacuate us from here,” he said.
