Why is this important?
Germany’s decision is significant for many Ukrainians who fear returning home in the face of conflict with Russia. Germany, which has invested in integration and language courses for migrants from Ukraine, now wants to encourage them to continue working.
What did Olaf Scholz say?
– We want people here from Ukraine to continue to work if they can work. “We paid for integration and language courses, so now we want to encourage more of them to work,” the principal said.
What will be the consequences for Ukrainians?
Germany’s decision means that men of military age who have left Ukraine will not have to return, despite a new law adopted by authorities in Kiev. “The legal situation in Germany is such that their stay here is out of the question,” Scholz stressed.
What’s next?
Germany still needs workers from Ukraine. Many Ukrainian citizens have already started working in Germany, but “there are still several hundred thousand people who are urgently needed on the labor market,” Schalz noted.
