Germany’s Cabinet has approved new restrictions on family reunification for migrants, a decision backed by Interior Minister Boris Pistorius. The policy aims to tighten immigration controls without compromising national security, though critics argue it could deter potential workers from entering the country.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is currently in Berlin for a series of meetings with German officials. The talks focus on migration policies, security cooperation, and humanitarian aid for Ukraine, which has been a key topic in recent diplomatic discussions.
The measure has sparked debate among political parties and civil society groups. While the government emphasizes the need to balance migration with social integration, opposition parties have raised concerns about the potential impact on families and the labor market.
Additional details on the specific terms of the new restrictions and their implementation are expected in the coming weeks, with further discussions likely to follow as the situation evolves.
