Ukraine is urgently seeking soldiers, leading to an intense debate among EU interior ministers. Several ministers, including Interior Minister Dobrindt from the CSU, have expressed openness to limiting protection for newly arriving men of military age. This could mean that Germany might offer less protection for this group in order to regulate the flow of potential recruits to Ukraine. The SPD, on the other hand, has a different perspective and opposes such measures, which could lead to tensions within the governing coalition.
