Mertes to Zelensky: Fewer Ukrainians should be refugees in Germany
Germany’s chancellor told Ukraine’s president that fewer young Ukrainian men should come to Germany as refugees.
According to Isna, German Chancellor Friedrich Mertes said in a speech on Thursday evening: “After a phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, I asked him to ensure that young Ukrainian men do not increasingly come to Germany, but serve in their own country.”
“I told President Zelensky that young Ukrainian men are needed in their own country,” the German chancellor emphasized, according to the AFP report.
“German social welfare laws will soon change to reduce payments to Ukrainian refugees, thereby creating more incentives to find jobs,” Mertes added.
“The benefits of these refugees will be adjusted in such a way that the incentives to work outweigh the incentives to stay in the social welfare system,” he noted.
After the start of the war, Ukraine had barred all men between the ages of 18 and 60 from leaving the country, with limited exceptions, but Kiev eased those rules in August.
