Ukraine's problems with mobilizing soldiers to fend off the Russian invasion will have no practical consequences for Ukrainians living in Germany, according to German Justice Minister Marco Buschmann. "It will not be the case that we force people to do compulsory military service or military service against their will," Buschmann told dpa. Discussions are currently ongoing in Ukraine about how the army can recruit more soldiers. The military wants to mobilize an additional 450,000 to 500,000 men. The Ukrainian Defense Ministry has been appealing to Ukrainian men living abroad to return home and defend their country.
