Indian students numbering about 18,000 constitute the largest group out of the nearly 76,000 foreign students studying in Ukraine, mainly in medical courses, according to official estimates. Thousands of African students are also stranded in the former Soviet Republic. "We have stocked food and water for at least one week," Swarnakar, 25, said, after local authorities warned of power, gas and water supply outages.
