Friday marks the one year anniversary of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Over 15,000 Ukrainian immigrants have arrived in Israel since the Russian invasion of Ukraine nearly a year ago, according to data released by the Aliyah and Integration Ministry and the Jewish Agency.
The immigrants from Ukraine were integrated into 172 communities in Israel. Haifa, Israel's third largest city, received the most immigrants, welcoming 1,764 new arrivals.
Within a day after the Russian invasion, the Jewish Agency set up 18 emergency centers in Ukraine and countries bordering it to accommodate Jewish refugees in the biggest rescue operation in recent years.
We spoke about the Ukrainians who came to Israel with Yigal Palmor , the Director of International Relations at the Jewish Agency.
