Germany will cut payments for Ukrainian refugees by threefold

Germany will significantly reduce payments for Ukrainians.

This was reported by the German tabloid Bild.

All Ukrainians who arrive in Germany after April 1, 2025, will be treated as asylum seekers and will receive €180. According to the report, Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt and Social Affairs Minister Bärbel Bas reached this agreement.

Currently, 1.1 million Ukrainians live in Germany. They receive €563 per month in basic support (for single individuals). The state also covers rent, heating, etc. Asylum seekers, in turn, receive about €180 plus housing and other living costs.

As a reminder, according to polls, most German citizens believe Ukrainian refugees should no longer receive the Bürgergeld cash benefit.

It was previously reported that Berlin will close its largest center for Ukrainian refugees by the end of the year.
