Foreign Minister Lapid says Israel is preparing for the possibility of evacuating Israelis and Jews from Ukraine by land to the West.

He says neighboring countries responded positively, included Moldova and Poland.

At a press conference at the Foreign Ministry, he says 6,050 Israelis in Ukraine have registered to receive updates from the ministry via text messages.

Lapid says some 2,000 of them are students.
