The Indian Air Force is on standby for any possible evacuations of stranded Indians from war-hit Ukraine, a senior official said on Thursday. Russian forces entered Ukraine on Thursday. Russia has already destroyed Ukraine's air defense with strategic explosions at airports and runways across the country. The Indian Air Force has, however, said that it was ready to deploy planes for rescue missions if need be. Meanwhile, the Ministry of External Affairs has said that it is working to bring back about 18,000 Indians from Ukraine. Russia launched the offensive against Ukraine on Thursday morning on the orders of President Vladimir Putin, who said the goal of the operation was to demilitarise and de-Nazify Ukraine. Moscow reported that it was carrying out strikes on elements of Ukraine's military infrastructure.
