Israel

People from Ukraine can enter Israel without any visa. Law of return allows anyone with one Jewish grandparent to move to Israel (make Aliyah).

In addition, on March 13th, Israel allowed unlimited access to people from Ukraine who have a relative in Israel.

There's a quota for admission of people from Ukraine who do not have a relative and are not Jewish, but the government seems under pressure to up the quota.

United Hatzalah operates in Ukraine, Moldova, and other nearby countries and organizes charter flights into Israel for aliyah. Their Facebook page can be helpful:

USA:

A lawyer can help make an appointment. For emmigration cases, appointments have to be in Frankfurt.

Once an emmigration visa application (such as for family reunification) was made, there is a case number. It’s then possible to apply for parole to be able to arrive in the U.S. while the case is being processed. The accepting party in the U.S. would need to provide an affidavit of support. All cases for people from Ukraine are now treated as priority, however expedited review should only be requested in exceptional cases, such as medical need or unaccompanied minor.

College-aged people can apply for graduate programs in the U.S. and get student visas, as long as there is someone willing to pay for them.

Requesting refugee status or asylum doesn’t work for people from Ukraine because they don’t currently qualify for the protected categories covered by these programs.

Lawers:

Lawyer Iryna Mazur provides excellent updates in Ukrainian on her Facebook page on U.S. applications for refugee status, asylum, immigration and tourist visas, Temporary Protected Status, and adoption for people from Ukraine.
