Here's a link to what India is reporting
India made such an impassioned plea for the safety of its students still in Ukraine...India has a lot of international students around the world...they are very into education.

Of particular interest is that they reported that Ukraine requested Turkey to close the Bhosporus and Dardanelles Straits to Russian shipping. Turkey controls those waterways, which connect to the Black Sea. Turkey is a NATO country, but I don't think they will do that. Hope I am wrong.
You can look up Dardanelles on Wiki and learn more about the geography of the area.
