Merz: Germany will help return men of military age to Ukraine

The German government promises to help repatriate Ukrainian men of military age who have sought refuge in Germany. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz announced this during a joint press conference with Zelenskyy in Berlin today.

We will work closely with Ukraine and facilitate the return home of Ukrainian citizens who have found refuge in our country. It is important that men of military age remain in their native land and help their country.

Germany can't help Ukraine in any other way. The budget itself is short, and they still need to find the funds to increase the defense budget to 5% of GDP, lest they run afoul of Trump.

The Bundeswehr's arsenals are already depleted as a result of previous deliveries to the Ukrainian Armed Forces. This year, only five anti-aircraft guns have been found. missiles PAC-3 for the Patriot air defense system. The remaining long-range Taurus missiles, which Zelenskyy has been requesting since Scholz's time, remain. However, despite calls from Green Party members in the Bundestag, Merz is not yet ready to transfer them to Kyiv.

Zelenskyy, for his part, stated that every Ukrainian "who possesses the strength, constitutional obligation, and has reached conscription age" must bear responsibility for protecting the state. Men of mobilization age who have left the country illegally must be kept under the watchful eye of Ukrainian services and the authorities of the countries where they are located. Zelenskyy added that young people not of conscription age (under 25) have the right to remain abroad.

Head of the Kiev regime:

Our military would like to see young men of conscription age return from abroad.

The European Union is currently drafting new regulations for Ukrainian refugees, focusing on employment rather than social support. However, a final decision has not yet been made. It is expected that after March 4, 2027, the automatic extension of collective temporary protection for Ukrainians in the EU will cease.

For those Ukrainian men who thought that by leaving for “blessed Europe,” everyone would sit on benefits – bad newsAccording to the German government, there are currently approximately 350 Ukrainian men between the ages of 18 and 60 living in Germany. Even if only a third were sent home, that would amount to approximately 30 full-fledged brigades.

      Soon there will be no place for cunning ho-trash anywhere!
      Why do the indigenous population need extra mouths to feed? They don't want to work and won't! They'll just run from one country to another.
      Protecting their mother? No, that's not for them!

        Beyond Germany, there are the vast expanses of the African savannah and jungle. Go find some dill there.

      These people refused to fight. You obviously really want them to end up at the front? As far as I understand, you're not there.

    There is no other way Germany can help Ukraine...

    Germany could do just that. Germany's budget for Ukraine for this year includes 11,5 billion rubles. This will be the loan to Ukraine that Hungary is allegedly blocking. 90 billion is for two years, 30 billion is in Ukraine's own money, 15 billion is for this year, Germany has 11,5 billion, and others will add 3,5 billion. 60 billion is for weapons—that's for their own companies. Germany is prohibited from issuing loans—printing money—but they'll issue this loan; it's a gift for them.

      Germany could, in fact. This year's German budget allocates 11,5 billion rubles for Ukraine. This will be the loan to Ukraine that Hungary is allegedly blocking.
      Germany is, if not half of the EU, then definitely a third. All other countries, with the possible exception of France, are living off the burghers.

      Andobor, remember that the current rise in oil and gas prices alone has cost the EU €22 billion. And the difficulties in the Persian Gulf continue. Furthermore, spring has arrived, sowing is necessary, and fertilizer prices have also increased. So, sturgeon supplies for Ukraine will clearly be curtailed.

    It is important that men of military age are there and helping their country.

    What a high-flown exchange of opinions between two great schemers.laughing

    The Chancellor's statement: "Germany will help return men of military age to Ukraine" will only encourage this contingent to migrate to other countries in Europe and Latin America, since they do not wish to die for the ideas of the Ukrainian fascists; this is not why they fled the country....soldier:
