Details: "The legal situation is such that residence here is not questioned. Employment also leads to security of residence," the chancellor said.

Scholz also urged Ukrainians in Germany to find employment.

"We hope that those who have come from Ukraine will start working as soon as they can. It is worth mentioning that many are already doing so, but there are still several hundred thousand urgently needed in the labour market," he added.

Background:

• Earlier, Lithuanian Prime Minister Ingrida Šimonytė dismissed claims that her country would help send Ukrainian men of conscription age back to Ukraine.

• Olha Stefanishyna, Ukraine's Deputy Prime Minister for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration, stressed that Ukraine will not forcibly bring military-age Ukrainian men back from other countries.
