A closed border can be one way. It would be up to Russia to accept the incoming migrants, but Ukraine doesn't need to stop people from leaving. Those that leave though, would be under scrutiny should they attempt to return. They would also have to return via a different route, and that could be difficult if Poland and other neighbors also bar Russian travel.
