Ukrainians with residence and work permits will be able to stay in Germany despite the Ukrainian state’s desire to return citizens living abroad to participate in the war against Russia, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said during a speech at an event of the RND newspaper group, according to Dw.
“The legal situation is such that residence here is not questioned. Employment also leads to security of residence,” he said.
The chancellor also called on Ukrainians in Germany to find employment.
“We hope that those who came from Ukraine will work as soon as they are able to work. It is worth saying that many are already doing so, but there are still several hundred thousand who are urgently needed in the labor market,” he emphasized.
