Brandenburg's Minister President Dietmar Woidke (SPD) has questioned the continued provision of citizen's income to Ukrainian refugees in Germany.

Initially, the decision to provide this support was deemed necessary for quick assistance.

However, Woidke now suggests reevaluating its relevance, pointing out that more Ukrainians are employed in other EU countries compared to Germany.

He argues that integrating Ukrainian refugees into the workforce would benefit the German economy and aid in their integration.

This stance aligns with recent calls from CDU, FDP, and AfD politicians to limit or cease these payments.

Woidke's position may be influenced by the upcoming Brandenburg state elections, where the impact of the Russian-Ukrainian war is a significant issue.

Additionally, Woidke advocates for stricter measures on citizen's income to address perceived unfairness towards hard-working citizens.
