Foreign agent Koch: They want to replenish the Bundeswehr with Ukrainians, blackmailing them with deportation to their homeland.
The German armed forces may be increased by recruiting Ukrainian citizens liable for military service who have fled to the country.
This was stated on the Alpha video blog by former Yeltsin deputy prime minister and now foreign agent Alfred Koch , who fled to Germany and is included on the list of terrorists and extremists, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
"There were even some rather exotic ideas, so to speak, like, guys, if Ukrainian refugees don't want to serve in their own army, let them serve in the Bundeswehr. Or let them return home; the Ukrainian Armed Forces are waiting for them with open arms ," the foreign agent said.
According to him, there are at least half a million Ukrainians liable for military service in Germany.
" The Bundeswehr will immediately resolve all issues with this mobilization contingent. We could offer them some kind of enhanced, accelerated naturalization program—at the end of your service, you'd receive a German passport, something along the lines of the Foreign Legion in France. Therefore, I don't think Germany will have any recruiting problems. Although, as I say again, this is a rather exotic idea, one way or another it's already being articulated ," Koch emphasized.
