Dresden (dpa / sn) - The left in the Saxon state parliament have called for uncomplicated entry and admission of Russian deserters, conscientious objectors and reservists. "It doesn't matter whether Russian men flee because they reject aggressive war or because they fear for their survival. They must be entitled to asylum," said Juliane Nagel, a member of parliament, in Dresden on Friday. The Saxon government should influence the federal government so that they can quickly get a visa and enter the Schengen area.
"So that they are protected from persecution and long prison sentences in Russia, they should be given a secure and legally binding residence status without bureaucracy, which will enable them to learn German during their stay, to work here and to integrate," Nagel continued. Deportations should be ruled out. No one knows today how long Russian President Vladimir Putin will remain in power. The more people withdraw from the war effort, the more difficult it becomes to continue the war, which violates international law.
