There is a big difference between Ukraine and Afghanistan.
Ukraine actually has buildings and infrastructure and railroads, and factories. Afghanistan is a mountainous desert with nothing outside of Kabul. Ukraine can suffer Billions in losses from bombs and rockets. Afghanistan only creates dust storms.

Further, the Ukrainian people are smart, educated and sophisticated. Afghanis can’t count, don’t know left from right, and only stick around until paycheck time then disappear for days weeks etc.

Another difference is that in a country like Ukraine, where literacy is near 100% (in multiple languages) and there is a large proportion of people with technical skills, rather than live in a war zone, people will simply leave, and they’ll be gladly given visas elsewhere in Europe.

It’s a different story in a poor, uneducated country like Afghanistan, where people climb on the wing of a cargo transport plane, thinking it will give them safe passage to a Western country.
