"The 'Unity Hub Berlin' in the city centre offers Ukrainians services as diverse as passport renewals, advice on launching a high-tech start-up or access to therapy."
"German Chancellor Friedrich Merz called the return of fighting-age men 'essential to ensure Ukraine's ability to defend itself, its social cohesion and reconstruction.'"
"The brand-new three-storey Hub is in stark contrast to Berlin's previous main reception centre for Ukrainian refugees - a site at Berlin's old Tegel airport that housed up to 5,000 Ukrainians in tents and containers."
"Merz has made a tougher refugee policy a key priority as he attempts to stem the rise of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD)."
The Unity Hub Berlin offers various services for Ukrainian refugees, including passport renewals and therapy. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz emphasized the importance of young men returning to Ukraine for its defense and social cohesion. The Hub, funded by the German government and operated by Kyiv, contrasts with previous refugee accommodations. Merz's administration has prioritized stricter refugee policies and has reduced support for new arrivals, while also urging Ukraine to manage the outflow of young men to Germany.
