About 21 Indian sailors on-board a merchant ship are stuck at the Port of Mykolaiv in Ukraine. They are currently safe and in regular contact with their families, said MV Maritime, the ship management agency employing the sailors. More 24 ships are also docked at the port with Indian sailors on board. The crew has not been able to come out of the ship for the past one month since the war broke. The port is very close to the Russian forces on the Black sea, so the port is not operational. In case the Russian forces enter the port then they can be contacted to allow the ships to depart, said officials at MV Maritime. The next option for their evacuation is through Poland but the border is 900km away.
