【Can't take it anymore! Merkel urges Zelenskyy to recall Ukrainian youth refugees in Germany】On November 14, German Chancellor Merkel stated during a joint press conference in Berlin with visiting Cypriot President Christodoulidis that Ukrainian young people seeking asylum in Germany "are not what Germany needs."
Merkel revealed that she had spoken with Zelenskyy the day before and urged him to take measures to arrange for the service positions of those Ukrainian youths who are flocking to Germany.
"I clearly told Zelenskyy: A significant portion of the people coming here from Ukraine now are young men aged 18 to 24, because conscription in Ukraine starts at 25. I asked him to ensure these young people stay in Ukraine, as Ukraine needs them, not Germany. Ukraine needs every person who can work and provide help, even including those who can serve in the military."
The Ukrainian mobilization law came into effect on May 18, 2024, requiring all males of conscription age to update their personal information. For this, they must go to the conscription office or register in the electronic conscription system.
Widespread videos circulating online show that staff at Ukrainian conscription centers forcibly pull men into small buses, often accompanied by beating and violence. Dmytro Lubynets, the head of the Ukrainian High Council for Human Rights, stated that violations by the conscription department have become a common phenomenon. According to him, some staff abuse their power, even driving over people and creating traffic accidents to "capture" men of conscription age.
In August this year, the Ukrainian government allowed males aged 18 to 22 to leave the country. Since then, many young people have started to leave Ukraine. Germany #WarRefugees
