“Quite frankly, I had no idea CHABAD was resettling the Ukraine and I still have no idea why”
Chabad has shalichim all over Eastern Europe and had chabad centers in about 25 different cities in Ukraine prior to the Russian invasion. Over the weekend, a number of those centers that were under attack and/or in the direct line of Russian advances were able to withdraw to Poland or “safe” portions of Ukraine. In several cases, the YWN news pages reported on the efforts of the shiluchim to arrange for travel not only for their own families but for groups of talmidim as well.
