Why It Matters
The EU Council has approved new rules excluding men from Ukraine from the automatic asylum program.
The Prime Minister of Bavaria and the leader of the Christian Social Union (CSU), Markus Soeder, called for the return of men serving in Germany to Ukraine instead of paying them social benefits.
“I also think it’s important to say now that young, fit-for-military men from Ukraine should rather think about, or find a way for, how they can provide protection in their homeland, instead of perhaps being on basic social security here,” Zeder said in a post on social media.
The EU Council at the end of July finally approved new rules excluding men from Ukraine aged 23 to 60 years from the automatic asylum program in the European Union.
