Not really. Selection is a zero sum game. If you add more Ukrainian refugees, you need to remove some other kids from the running. Needs based discrimination makes different choices than race based discrimination. More of one means less of the other.

All of these are different pools: legacy, merit, AA, needs, international

Just take from some and give to others
