«It remains an individual decision of the Ukrainians who have found refuge with us, whether they want to return to the Motherland. Germany does not exert any pressure and does not pay incentives for return,» Svenja Schulze explained.

Currently, there is a shortage of personnel in Ukraine. According to the minister, this could contribute to solving the problem. At the same time, another problem is the recognition in Ukraine of a new qualification obtained abroad.

We will remind you that the Oslo Met study, which monitors the opinion of Ukrainian refugees about life in Norway, shows that every third Ukrainian refugee in Norway has already decided that he will not return to Ukraine.

Recently, the Committee on Migration of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe appealed to the European states to extend the period of temporary protection that was granted earlier, or to find new ways for the legal stay of refugees from Ukraine in the territories of these countries.

We will remind that Poland promises to provide temporary protection to Ukrainian refugees without a passport. The country has extended protection, which is currently in effect until June 30.

In turn, Ireland is sharply reducing payments for Ukrainian refugees living in state housing.
