Germany, with a significant number of Ukrainian refugees, says forcing people to perform military service against their will doesn’t mesh with its policies, per the country's Minister of Justice.
Ukraine's Defense Ministry has dismissed Umerov's statement, stating that he was misunderstood, and there are no discussions on the mechanisms of conscripting men living abroad into the AFU.
The Ministry of Defence has clarified that Minister Rustem Umeirov calls on all Ukrainians to join the Armed Forces, but that there is no question of a mechanism for punishing or putting legal pressure on men outside Ukraine.
