Over a week into Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, thousands of Israelis remain in the embattled country, the Foreign Ministry says.
“Over the past week, we’ve extracted around 3,000 Israelis. We estimate that another 4,000-5,000 remain in Ukraine,” ministry spokesperson Lior Hayat tells Reshet Bet radio.
“The difficult problem is those Israelis who remain in Kyiv and Kharkiv, who cannot head safely to the borders,” Hayat adds.
