Only three men of conscription age contacted the Ukrainian Return Centre in Germany during its six months of operation with questions about voluntary return. This is reported by Rheinische Post, as UNN informs.
Details
It is noted that since the opening in April of Unity Hub Berlin—the consultation centre for Ukrainians wishing to return home—66 relevant inquiries have been registered, three of them from men of conscription age.
The Centre itself, in turn, clarified that, in total, it has received nearly 6,000 inquiries since April this year.
Ukrainians most often contact the Centre for information and consultation support on pensions and social security, document processing, staying in Germany, migration procedures, and housing and career issues
It should be added that, as of 31 May 2026, more than 1.3 million Ukrainian refugees were registered in Germany, including 265 804 men of conscription age.
