According to Brodsky, at the beginning of the war there was a significant wave of Ukrainian refugees. The most critical situation was observed in February and March, when Ukrainians fled en masse to other countries.

At the same time, Israel continues to accept repatriates, i.e. people returning to their homeland from other countries. This program has not ceased to function because of the war, and it is still available to Jews and their families.
Since the outbreak of the full-scale conflict, Israel has accepted several thousand repatriates, and despite the war, the country continues to fulfill its obligations to Ukrainian citizens by providing them with legal residence.
Israel's repatriation program is an important mechanism for supporting Ukrainian citizens who wish to return home. Israel supports repatriates by providing them with the necessary assistance and resources for successful re-equipment and inclusion in Ukrainian society.
