Painful Experience: Rajesh Munishwar grieves watching Kyiv - YP Buzz News

 YP Buzz - 

                It was a “painful experience” for Rajesh Munishwar to see his city burn to ashes as he flees from Kyiv. Resident or non-resident, for a person who has spent the important years of his life building his future in a city, watching it getting devastated will be similar to his heart getting thrashed by an ice brick. Rajesh Munishwar felt the same.

For 17 years, Rajesh Munishwar had been living in Kyiv as a space and defense engineer and runs a missile designing company in Kyiv. Coming from Maharashtra’s Nagpur, 35-year-old, Rajesh Munishwar escaped Kyiv with his wife and 8-year-old son and crossed over to Romania, Ukraine’s neighboring country. According to Munishwar, Kyiv has been surrounded by Russian forces from all sides and the entire city, including key establishments and buildings, has become a victim of heavy bombing.

On Wednesday morning, Rajesh Munishwar had a telephone conversation from Romania with the PTI. He said that he and his family are a part of a group of 18 Indians who arranged vehicles for themselves and crossed over to the neighboring cities.

He said, “Kyiv is surrounded by the Russian forces from all sides. Northwest and northeast of Kyiv are occupied. Intense fighting is going on between the forces on streets and buildings in Kyiv. The devastation is huge. Yesterday, a 64-km-long convoy of Russian forces headed towards Kyiv. Russians told the local people to vacate the city as they planned to make heavy bombing in Kyiv.”   

Adding to that he also mentioned, “At Labanovska Street, 200 meters away from our home, a cruise missile hit a building and its ninth and tenth floor were completely destroyed. The road from our home to the University of Defence is totally barricaded. Heavy firing between the natives and invasion forces is going on.” He informed me that face-to-face fighting has become quite normal in Kyiv. He also said that in Ukraine there is a curfew from 5 pm to 7 am and that Kharkiv city’s freedom square, central administration buildings were heavily bombarded.

He said, “Yesterday, they used a thermobaric vacuum bomb. Famous tractor factory XTZ was bombarded. The destruction was enormous. In Kyiv, a television tower got destroyed after it was bombed yesterday. It was a painful experience to see your city is burning”. The world’s largest aircraft An-225 Mriya, designed and built in Ukraine, was destroyed two days back. Almost in all major cities and towns, including Kyiv, shelling, and destruction are consistent, he said.

“The Indian Embassy had asked us yesterday to vacate Kyiv urgently and escape by any means. We went to the railway station on foot but saw a huge rush there. It was not possible to take any train as locals were given preference. For people from other countries, boarding a train is next to impossible”, he said.

He also said, “We are 18 Indians, who arranged small vans and buses and crossed over into the neighboring countries. I, my wife, and child reached Romania yesterday late at night and are staying in base camp. We are expected to board a flight to India today.”
