The youngest immigrant who has immigrated so far is the toddler Yuri, one year and a month old, who arrived yesterday on a flight at noon.
His mother, Victoria Petrenko, told Israel Today about her aliyah with her children from the city of Boyarka near Kyiv.
"We set off on March 4 and it took us 10 days to get from Kiev, through Moldova to Israel."
Victoria arrived alone with her three children, aged 12, 9 and a year and a month.
"My husband stayed in Ukraine. It was very difficult, physically and mentally."

"We have been under stress and fatigue for a long time, physically and mentally. The whole situation was very difficult, especially for the children who had to be torn from the life they had and become refugees. Now we are on my way to my father who lives in Kiryat Yam, hoping to start a new and quiet life," she concluded.
About the toddler Yuri, she said: "He feels great, but the period was of course not easy ... It was very difficult for him to be on the road for ten days. Now we hope that everything will just get better and better."
