Switzerland says they should help Ukraine solve the personnel problem and “relieve the burden on Switzerland’s heavy migration structures.”
In Switzerland, representatives of at least two parliamentary political parties have begun to speak publicly about the need to return men liable for military service to Ukraine. This was reported on Sunday, May 12, by the Neue Zürcher Zeitung.
It is indicated that against the backdrop of Ukraine’s suspension until May 18 of the provision of consular services for men liable for military service and the impossibility of obtaining them without updating the data in the TCC, the Swiss began to speak that politician about refugees who might be subject to the military. service in Ukraine.
According to the Swiss Federal Department of Justice (FDJP), we are talking about 11 thousand Ukrainian men living in the country.
“The calls to go home are getting louder,” the newspaper wrote.
In particular, the national adviser of the Free Democratic Party (FDP), Christian Wasserfallen, said that those who may undergo military service in Ukraine do not have a valid claim to the protection status S, because it is mainly aimed at women, children and the elderly need protection.
“We do not want to shelter de facto deserters who have fled a country whose defense war now requires their presence,” he said.
Another politician, head of asylum issues of the Swiss People’s Party, Pascal Schmid, emphasized that in this way the Swiss show a lack of solidarity with Ukraine.
“If the existence of Switzerland is threatened, we will not be happy if other countries host hundreds of thousands of our soldiers,” Schmid said.
He said he plans to investigate the matter.
In turn, the chairman of the Ukrainian Society in Switzerland, Andrei Luzhnitsky, called such statements cynical and “a moral and political statement of bankruptcy.”
“This is a cynical attempt to solve the Ukrainian problem And this is from the politicians of a country that did not allow third countries to transfer Swiss weapons to help Ukraine If those responsible for the service military will be returned, then I hope they will be given weapons,” Luzhnitsky said.
Earlier, the Polish Ministry of Defense said Warsaw would help Ukraine return those liable for military service.
Polish Ambassador to Ukraine Jaroslaw Guzy said Ukrainian men of military age would not be forcibly returned from Poland, but Warsaw had not yet decided what to do with them.
