The newspaper "Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung" published a lengthy article confirming that "the German opposition has called for the return of Ukrainians to their homeland." The article discussed that "in Ukraine, they are suffering from a shortage of personnel, not only on the front lines but also in civil defense and the Ministry of Emergency Situations." The newspaper pointed out that "Berlin is spending more money on Ukrainians who have escaped military service than on training and arms for the armed forces."
