Details: “The legal situation is such that residence here is not questioned. Employment also leads to security of residence,” the chancellor said.
Scholz also urged Ukrainians in Germany to find employment.
“We hope that those who have come from Ukraine will start working as soon as they can. It is worth mentioning that many are already doing so, but there are still several hundred thousand urgently needed in the labour market,” he added.
