The Foreign Ministry confirms that Israelis are starting to leave Ukraine in larger numbers.

“Our campaign is beginning to work,” Foreign Ministry spokesman Lior Haiat tells The Times of Israel.

About 900 people flew to Israel from Ukraine on Sunday, and more are expected to fly to Israel on Monday.

Over 10,000 Israeli citizens are thought to be in Ukraine, some 6,000 of whom have registered with the embassy.

A blurry video of one such flight Monday shows a what appears to be a partially filled flight leaving Kyiv for Israel.
