Germany plans to tighten rules for Ukrainian refugees: they want men to defend their homeland from Russia

01/3/2026

The Christian Social Union (CSU), the junior partner of German Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s Christian Democratic Union, has prepared a resolution demanding stricter rules for refugees. In particular, politicians will call for Ukrainian men to contribute to Ukraine’s defense.

The CSU is calling for a further strengthening of the migration policy in Germany. In their draft resolution for an upcoming closed session of the CSU parliamentary group in the Bundestag, the members of parliament demand, among other things, the rapid return of most Syrian refugees to their country of origin, as reported by the Münchner Merkur.

In the current draft, the CSU also demands a tougher stance on an even larger group of Ukrainian refugees. “We will insist that, in particular, able-bodied Ukrainian men make their contribution to the defense of their country,” Merkur quotes the CSU document.

Another demand from the CSU: “We demand that all asylum seekers, regardless of their country of origin, use their assets to cover the costs of their stay in Germany.” This applies at least to Ukrainians who have entered the country since April 2025 and who are covered by the Asylum Seekers Assistance Act.

Conditions will also worsen in Poland

In Poland, special rules for Ukrainian refugees will cease to apply from March 4, 2026. The law that grants Ukrainians special rights will cease to be valid.

Marcin Przydach from the Polish President’s Office said: “When the scale exceeds the possibilities of inculturation, problems begin. We do not want such problems in Poland. I think we are already at the limit – we cannot accept any more.” At the same time, the country’s President Karol Nawrocki announced that he had recently signed a law on supporting Ukrainian refugees.

The validity period of this law is March 4, 2026. This is even less than the EU recommends. However, Poland’s policy is changing. On the one hand, the Polish authorities are interested in ensuring that those who work and contribute to the development of the Polish economy remain in the country even after the end of the war (and in fact, the taxes paid by Ukrainians have already compensated for all the aid paid to refugees). On the other hand, Poland wants Ukrainians to assimilate and not be a burden on the state budget. And, it seems, such a state policy is common to a number of European countries.

As OBOZ.UA previously reported, the humane reception of Ukrainian refugees in the Netherlands is under threat due to overcrowded centers and 
unsatisfactory living conditions . After 2027, the state will stop guaranteeing housing and basic support, shifting responsibility to the Ukrainians themselves.

  1. All able-bodied Ukrainian men should be sent back to Ukraine. It’s the only right thing to do.
    Having said that, the Europeans appear to be getting nervous about the war. It’s either doing everything possible for the country to keep staving off the cockroaches, or they will themselves have to man trenches and fend off missile and drone attacks. Ever more Europeans are also getting sick and tired of having every possible type of people immigrating into their countries, and having to foot the bill, both monetary and social. This makes radical parties grow in strength.
