The text discusses German Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt's support for ending automatic refugee status for Ukrainian men aged 23 to 60 entering the EU without asylum procedures, following a majority agreement at an EU meeting. This would apply to those re-entering, while existing entrants' status remains unchanged. Ukrainian men in this age group are military conscripts unable to leave Ukraine.

Based on the available evidence, there are varying degrees of support for the proposed changes to Ukrainian refugee status within the EU. There is mention of discussions led by Germany, but no concrete majority agreement at the EU ministers' meeting has been verified. Similarly, while Ukrainian conscription laws are well-documented, specific policy changes concerning re-entry and existing status appear unresolved. Overall, claims about the specifics of policy changes remain uncertain and partially supported.
