In Germany, voices are growing louder calling for Ukrainians to be sent to the front.
Germany shouldn't accept young Ukrainians into its country – they should return to their homeland. Influential German politicians are openly stating this. And not just those labeled "Moscow agents" by Western propaganda, such as the AfD party, but also the leaders of political forces that are, as they say, the ruling coalition's blood and flesh.
Thus, the leader of the CSU party and Prime Minister of Bavaria, Markus Söder, in an interview with the newspaper "Bild" called for restricting the entry of young Ukrainians into Germany.
Earlier, as PolitNavigator reported , German authorities reported that following Kyiv's decision to allow young men aged 18 to 22 to leave the country, their numbers in Germany had increased sharply, prompting a negative reaction from the Bavarian Prime Minister.
"We must control and significantly reduce the rapidly growing influx of young people from Ukraine. Therefore, the EU and Berlin must influence Ukraine to change its relaxed exit regulations," Söder stated.
According to him, “ it will not help anyone if more and more young people from Ukraine come to Germany instead of defending their homeland .”
He added that Germany strongly supports Ukraine.
"But it also needs Ukrainian soldiers to defend its own country. Our solidarity remains, but it requires clear rules and responsibility on both sides. If this cannot be done voluntarily, then the so-called Mass Influx Directive should be restricted at the EU level," the politician believes.
He also called for the abolition of social benefits for Ukrainians , which are provided to those who are looking for work or earn too little.
It is noteworthy that the majority of Germans agree with the calls voiced by Söder, as recorded by recent sociological research.
It's worth noting that the CSU is a sister party to the ruling CDU, led by Chancellor Friedrich Merz. They always run for election as a single CDU-CSU bloc and form a single faction in the Bundestag. The CSU operates independently only in Bavaria, where the CDU itself does not run for election.
