Garima Mishra, who says she is from Lucknow, appeared to be in panic
"Please, Jai Hind, Jai Bharat, please help us," a young woman is heard saying in a video posted by Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra to thousands of Indian students stranded in Ukraine.
As Russian forces continue their offensive in Ukraine, busses are transporting Indian students to the border with Romania, Hungary, and Poland, and then flying them home on Air India flights.
"We are surrounded by all eyes. No one is helping and I don't know if we will get help," Garima Mishra, who says she is from Lucknow in Uttar Pradesh, said.
"Where we are staying, people come, they create a disturbance and try to come in, we can't understand what is happening."
As more information circulates, they appear to become increasingly desperate.
"We were told that Russian soldiers stopped some of our friends who had gone by bus to the border. They fired at the students and jut picked up the girls. We don't know what happened to the boys," said Garima.
Her tears flow as she cries: "We watched movies like this. We thought we'd be saved...but now it doesn't seem like it...We'll be stuck here forever. We're not safe here."
"Do whatever it takes to get these children back to India," Priyanka Gandhi wrote in a message on the video. "The whole country is with these students and their families," she added, tagging Foreign Minister S Jaishankar.
Congress leader urged the government to make every effort to return them safely.
Despite the Russian invasion, the Ukrainian capital Kyiv and Kharkiv are holding out against the Russians.
Indian students have documented their underground bunkers and bomb shelters on social media. They are thought to be hiding in Ukraine
