Kerala is primarily a left bastion, and shares an emotional proximity to the erstwhile Soviet. The boycott comes after the students were put through chilling and hellish experiences due to the Russian invasion.
The Russian action caused a massive destruction of life and property, affecting not only the citizens of the country but also students across borders. The students trapped in various conflict zones have sent desperate messages for help to the state authorities. Some 700 students from the state are still trapped in Sumy, a city in eastern Ukraine that is seeing intense Russian shelling in the last few days.
