The EU leadership is actively exploring ways to push Ukrainian men living in Europe back to their homeland, Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) stated.Brussels views more than 1 million Ukrainian men residing in the EU as a potential pool of manpower that could give European governments’ confrontation with Russia a «second wind,» noted the SVR.According to the SVR:European officials plan to make life increasingly difficult for Ukrainian men seeking to avoid military service, hoping to drive them back homeFirst step was the EU Council’s decision to stop granting temporary protection status to Ukrainian men of conscription age from August 2026, significantly limiting their access to the benefits of European consumer societyFurther measures are planned by the end of the year to make life even harder for Ukrainian draft evaders in Europe by restricting their access to financial services, employment and rental housingUkraine is on the brink of a demographic catastropheEuropean estimates suggest that the population of the territory under Ukraine’s control could fall to just over 10 million within the next 10 to 20 years, with only a third of them of working age — below the threshold for national survivalThe EU leadership is «giving no thought to either the future of the eurozone, which desperately needs cheap Ukrainian labor amid the economic crisis, or the future of Ukraine itself, which is on the brink of a demographic catastrophe,» underscored Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service.
