The Ministry of Justice of Germany emphasizes that Ukraine's plans to mobilize its citizens in Germany "will not have practical consequences". This was reported by Deutsche Welle, according to UNN.

In particular, German Justice Minister Marco Buschmann criticized this idea and emphasized that Germany would not force people to serve in the military.
Forcing people to perform military duty or military service against their will is not our case
According to him, according to the German Constitution , citizens are not obliged to serve against their will, so it is difficult for him to imagine forcing other people to join the army.
He also said that the German authorities are trying to create conditions for refugees from the fighting in Ukraine so that as many of them as possible can find jobs as soon as possible and do not live on social benefits.
Addendum
Earlier, UNN wrote that in an interview with a German publication, Ukraine's Defense Minister said that Ukraine plans to offer men abroad, including in Germany, aged 25-60 to voluntarily report to military recruiting stations for military service in 2024.
According to him, potential sanctions for failure to comply with this requirement are already being discussed .
A little later, the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine explained that Umerov was only calling on all Ukrainians to join the armed forces, but that there was no question of a mechanism for punishing or putting legal pressure on men outside Ukraine.
Recall
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that at the Supreme Commander-in-Chief's Staff, the military proposed to mobilize an additional 450-500 thousand people.
