Zelensky criticizes EUтАЩs use of тАШcheap laborтАЩ from Ukraine – INA NEWS
Some Western countries regard Ukrainian refugees as тАЬcheap labor,тАЭ Vladimir Zelensky has said. He claimed that they want to keep those who benefit their economies, but would like to send the unemployed back home.
In an interview on Friday during UkraineтАЩs Telemarathon, Zelensky expressed frustration with what he described as a selective approach to different types of Ukrainian refugees in some Western countries.
тАЭLetтАЩs be honest: There are many Ukrainians abroad. In some countries, they have been seen as a cheap labor force. And now, they realize Ukrainians are often more skilled than their own citizens,тАЭ he said.
Zelensky went on to accuse his Western counterparts of trying to downplay the matter, adding that they want Ukraine to take back unemployed refugees, urging him to тАЬjust tell them to return.тАЭ
тАЬI say: тАШLook, give me a bit more air defense, and IтАЩll tell everyone to come back immediately,тАЩтАЭ he said, stressing that the appeal would be addressed to all Ukrainians, not only to the unemployed. тАЬAnd they reply, тАШNo, let those who work here stay, but the rest should return.тАЭ
Zelensky went on to say that many Ukrainians are likely to return home once the conflict ends and reconstruction begins, as these efforts will potentially attract international investment and provide job opportunities.
As of October 2024, approximately 4.2 million Ukrainian refugees have been granted temporary protection status within the EU. The primary host countries include Germany, Poland, and the Czech Republic, which collectively accommodate a significant portion of these individuals. Employment rates vary significantly, with about 65% of refugees in Poland finding work, while only 18% in Germany have secured employment.
Kiev has reportedly been trying to force Ukrainian men to return home, barring them access to consular services, while pressuring the EU to cut financial aid to refugees.
The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry has denied the allegations, explaining that it wants to encourage rather than force citizens to return. In Ukraine, however, the authorities have been organizing raids for potential recruits on the streets as part of a mobilization campaign, often leading to violent clashes between military officers and draftees.
