Germany will keep supporting Ukrainian refugees
Germany does not plan on reducing aid payments to Ukrainian war refugees in the country, German newspaper Suddeutsche Zeitung reported on June 17.
Government spokesperson Steffen Hebestreit confirmed that the state assistance will be maintained at current levels.
Additionally, German Employment Ministry spokesperson Dominik Ehrentraut stated that a special unit at the Employment Center, created to focus on Ukrainian refugees, will help accelerate the integration of Ukrainians into the German labor market.
Previously, Brandenburg Interior Minister Michael Stübgen criticized existing financial assistance to Ukrainian refugees, particularly to men and women "fit for military service."
Germany currently hosts to about 1.1 million refugees from Ukraine, including approximately 260,000 Ukrainian men aged 18 to 60.
According to German authorities, 185,000 Ukrainian citizens in the country are employed full-time, and another 47,000 are working part-time.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
