The challenges for Indian students pursuing medical degrees in war-torn Ukraine show no signs of abating, as they grapple with increasing hostility from sections of the local population, who perceive India as supporting Russia in the ongoing conflict. The situation has escalated since Ukraine initiated its recent offensive operations in June.

FYI: OP is a tankie who just spams any news he can find to discourage people from supporting Ukraine in the war.

Thank you for the context. Fuck tankies.

What does that have to do with the content of the article?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Some things need more context than a single article. In this case, the context is several articles being posted by a person with an agenda. This knowledge may change some people's perception of the article.

OP posted four articles

I counted at least 9 specifically about Ukraine in just the last 3 days, not counting cross-posts.

Any news I dislike is fake and tankie 😠

And this was claimed where, exactly...?

Although the article is mostly about how the indian students (of which only 3.5k are currently in Ukraine, per the article) are afraid of bombing and complaining that they can't be transferred to another country, with about a paragraph about (admittedly not good) animosity from Ukrainians.

Animosity likely springing from the fact that India supports Russia.
