Two Indian students stabbed to death in Ukraine

Two Indian medical students were stabbed to death while another sustained injury in an attack at the Uzhgorod Medical College in Ukraine. The deceased were identified as Pranav Shandilya from Muzaffarnagar and Ankur Singh from Ghaziabad, and the third was identified as Inderjeet Singh Chauhan from Agra, who was in hospital. External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj tweeted that she felt sorry about the incident.

Introduction
Racial violence and discrimination in Ukraine

Ukraine is a European multi-ethnic and multicultural nation, where racism and ethnic discrimination are possibly the biggest radical issues. Recorded incidents of violence show that the victims are subject to bias-motivated violence, which is strongly condemned by the media and leaders but, there is no noticeable decline in the numbers. According to Human Rights Watch, racism and xenophobia remain long-established problems in Ukraine.

Racial violence on the rise in Ukraine

During 2006-2009, a total of 224 racial violence incidents and 12 racially-motivated attacks were recorded in Ukraine. Alexander Feldman, president of the Association of National and Cultural Unions (Ukraine), said that most of the victims of racial violence don't report to police. He added that even police fail to classify such attacks as 'racially-motivated' and instead represent them as domestic offence or hooliganism.
