The EU is pro-fake-refugees, but wants to send Ukrainian men back to the meatgrinder.

Unlike many economic migrants that flood Europe thinly disguised as ‘asylum seekers’, the Ukrainian people who fled the bloodiest European war since WW2 are the very definition of refugees.

Yesterday (26), the European Union extended temporary protection status for millions of people who have fled the war in Ukraine – which is a good thing.

But there’s a catch: in their constant effort to prod up the Kiev regime’s war effort, the EU has decided NOT to extend these protections to military-aged male arrivals – people who would be eligible to serve in the Ukrainian armed forces.

For them, is back to the meatgrinder, it seems.

Today, we prolonged temporary protection for Ukrainians living the EU. Our objective is unchanged: to support Ukraine. With our proposal, we take into account Ukraine’s recovery needs.

Associated Press reported:

“Ukraine is desperate to boost the size of its fighting force more than four years into its full-scale war with Russia.

[…] More than 4.4 million Ukrainians have been welcomed into the EU since 2022. Most are living in Germany and Poland. They’ve been given temporary residency permits and support, including accommodation or help to get housing, social welfare benefits, medical care and access to schools.”

The protection is due to expire in March 2027, but the European Commission proposed to extend it by a year.

“Ukraine has been pressing the bloc to tighten the rules, and EU Migration Commissioner Magnus Brunner said that ‘temporary protection should not be granted to newly arriving persons who are not allowed to leave Ukraine because of their military obligations under Ukrainian law’.

The new measure would not apply to Ukrainians already in Europe, but could apply to people between 23 and 60 years old who come in the future. The commission hopes that this would enter force within weeks, once the EU’s 27 member countries have endorsed the plan.”
