The UK-based Khalsa Aid also tweeted that they are getting many calls for help from Indians stuck in the conflict-ridden areas, but added it has limited resources in Ukraine.
Our @Khalsa_Aid UK office is receiving 100s of calls from indian students in #Ukraine and from their loved ones from all over India.
We have several volunteers manning and processing the calls. We are unable to do much in Ukraine but we do have teams in most bordering countries
