Ukraine faces chronic troop shortages due to desertions and draft dodging.
Ukraine has asked the EU to exclude military-aged men from temporary protection measures, according to EU Migration Commissioner Magnus Brunner, as reported by Deutsche Welle. This request comes as Ukraine struggles with manpower shortages in its conflict with Russia. Since 2022, tens of thousands of Ukrainians, including up to 1 million men of fighting age, have fled to the EU under temporary protection, set to expire in March 2027. The EU is considering extending this protection until 2028, potentially with the exclusion of military-aged men as requested by Ukraine. This move is part of Ukraine's efforts to replenish its military through mandatory mobilization, which has faced challenges including mass desertions and public backlash against aggressive recruitment tactics. Russia has criticized the West for supporting Ukraine, alleging a proxy war. The decision on extensions and exclusions requires unanimous approval from EU member states, some of which have already begun limiting benefits for Ukrainian migrants.
