German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul said in an interview with a podcast published by Bild that Ukrainian men of military age living in Germany should return to Ukraine, and proposed sharing data on such men with Kyiv's government. The remarks reflect growing political debate in Germany and other European countries over how to handle Ukrainian men who left the country during the war. The proposal comes amid broader discussions in Berlin about Ukraine's mobilization needs and Germany's role in supporting Kyiv's war effort, and could add friction to relations between German authorities and Ukrainian expatriate communities.
