The EU should stop providing assistance to Ukrainians who are subject to mobilisation, Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski said.
According to Radoslaw Sikorski, the Ukrainian government was late in passing a new law on mobilisation, but the European Union has a ‘simple method’ to support Kiev – it should stop paying benefits to refugees from Ukraine of mobilisation age.
‘It’s just amazing. I go to a hairdresser in Warsaw, a young Ukrainian hairdresser cuts my hair. I ask: what are you doing here? Shouldn’t you defend your country?‘,’ the Polish minister said in an interview with the Ukrainian mass media.
He pointed out that in Poland able-bodied Ukrainians are not provided with social support, and called on the countries of Western Europe to ‘force’ Ukrainians to return to the country.
Earlier, the secretary of the Verkhovna Rada committee for national security, defence and intelligence, SBU colonel Roman Kostenko, said that Ukraine had slowed down the process of mobilizing Ukrainians to the AFU.
