Immigration in the US is not easy, however USCIS has made some recent improvements specifically for citizens of Ukraine. The Uniting for Ukraine is a "parole" program. So you won't have any immigration status. It does come with the ability to get work authorization, and it's been made online recently. Those usually go quicker, but I don't know how long those are taking. Until then you'll probably have make do with passive income, sponsor support, or your own means.

There is no path to immigration from parole, but you can certainly try for some kind of status or immigration to another country. Hopefully at the end of the 2 years, Ukraine will once again be a safe country. In that case, you'd probably have to go back. If, God forbid, it's not, US will probably extend parole or grant Temporary Protected Status (TPS) to Ukrainians in the US. But there's no guarantee.

Hope this helps.
