00:00Every day, around 40 of them show up at emergency reception centres in the German capital.
00:06Young Ukrainians like Kirill, who fled his country as soon as the opportunity arose.
00:13Because there is war in Ukraine, and there is nothing to do there.
00:16There are no jobs. Nothing.
00:20Kirill is far from an isolated case.
00:23Since men aged 18 to 22 were allowed to leave Ukraine last August,
00:27this profile of new arrivals has changed dramatically.
00:31Authorities have had to adjust.
00:34At the end of November and beginning of December, we rented three additional hotels.
00:39Whatever happens, we're ready to welcome everyone who might arrive.
00:4320,000 young Ukrainians arrived in Germany between September and December, according to the Interior Ministry.
00:51Outside refugee counselling centres too, the queues are growing longer.
00:55Far from the airstrikes and eager to avoid a new mobilisation,
01:00they're searching for semblance of normality, like 22-year-old Dimitro.
01:05His decision was not an easy one.
01:07I had a friend who went to Germany at the start of the war.
01:10He already found a job and asked me to come here.
01:14that here I will have better chances to, I don't know, have a better life maybe.
01:22Maybe my mother is happy, my father is not so happy.
01:26After four years of war, these young men now face the challenges of integration.
01:31But according to reception organisations, they stand every chance of getting a job.
01:36The ones we see here already have a university degree.
01:43They just need German language skills to be able to practice the profession they trained for.
01:49It's a great opportunity for young people and for Germany.
01:52As Russian attacks intensify, Berlin is nevertheless urging Kiev to once again slow down these departures,
02:02fearing Ukraine could permanently lose an entire generation.
