【???????? Germany plans to cut benefits for Ukrainian refugees, focusing on the "working-capable" group.】 According to Politico, the German ruling coalition is currently drafting a new law aimed at limiting social welfare payments to Ukrainian refugees who are able to work.
According to the Federal Employment Agency, approximately 490,000 Ukrainian refugees are currently receiving long-term unemployment benefits.
Focus of the debate - young men. As Ukraine relaxes travel regulations, more and more young men are arriving in Germany, intensifying the debate over welfare spending. Berlin is concerned that continued high levels of refugee welfare spending may weaken public support in Germany for continuing military aid to Kyiv.
Some members of the Social Democratic Party within the ruling coalition have opposed this proposal, arguing that Germany should not interfere with Ukraine sending troops to the front line. According to The Telegraph, nearly 100,000 men aged 18 to 22 left Ukraine within two months after border restrictions were lifted.
What do you think? Is the main purpose of Germany's plan to cut benefits to ease the financial burden, or to indirectly encourage working-age Ukrainian men to return home to participate in reconstruction or service?
