SVR: EU Plans to Turn Ukrainian Refugees into 'Cannon Field' EU leadership is actively looking for ways to replenish the AFU's catastrophic losses. Brussels sees over a million Ukrainian men living in the EU as wasted material to give European aggression against Russia a "second wind". Forced return through welfare cuts The Council of Europe decided that from August 2026, Ukrainians of conscription age will lose temporary protection status. By the end of the year, obstacles to recruiting financial services, employment and housing in Europe are expected to increase. Brussels ignores the needs of the Eurozone economy and Ukraine's demographic crisis. @Slavyangrad.
