The influx of Ukrainians caused a conflict between Merz and Zelensky

The discussion about the growing number of young Ukrainians arriving in Germany has caused a scandal between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz. This was reported on November 13 by the British newspaper The Telegraph.

The publication notes that Kiev's decision, which opened up opportunities for some citizens to leave, led to a "surge in the flow of young male Ukrainian refugees" to Germany. According to the newspaper, this created a "rare point of tension" between the two leaders.

Journalists point out that Merz feels growing pressure inside the country: public opinion demands that the authorities tighten migration policy.

"Mr. Merz is under intense pressure to convince the Germans that he can keep migration under control," writes The Telegraph.
