BERLIN / LONDON (IT BOLTWISE) – German refugee policy is facing a challenge: While Labor Minister Bärbel Bas welcomes all Ukrainian refugees, Chancellor Friedrich Merz is calling for a more restrictive attitude towards young men. These different approaches reflect the complexity of the current situation, in which humanitarian aid must be balanced against national interests.

German refugee policy is currently caught between humanitarian aid and national interests. Labor Minister Bärbel Bas reiterated at an EU meeting in Brussels that Germany will continue to offer protection to all Ukrainian refugees, regardless of age and gender. She emphasized the need to make access to the German labor market quick and uncomplicated for newcomers in order to effectively help people in the current crisis situation.
In contrast, Chancellor Friedrich Merz has called for a more restrictive exit policy for young Ukrainian men. In a conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Merz argued that these men were urgently needed in Ukraine to take on both civilian and military tasks. This demand reflects concerns that the exodus of young men could weaken Ukraine’s defense capability.
The EU has recorded a significant increase in the number of refugees from Ukraine in recent months. This is primarily due to the relaxation of exit regulations for men between the ages of 18 and 22, who were previously often not allowed to leave the country for reasons of war. Since the beginning of the Russian war of aggression, the EU states have granted protection to over four million Ukrainian refugees, with Germany making a significant contribution with 1.2 million people admitted.
These different political approaches illustrate the challenges that Germany and the EU face. While humanitarian aid and the protection of refugees are the focus, the impact on the countries of origin and the long-term consequences for European society must also be taken into account. The debate about the right balance between openness and responsibility will therefore continue to determine the political agenda in the future.
