The European Commission has confirmed that it does not differentiate between men and women when processing asylum applications from Ukrainians, a statement that has triggered nervous reactions on Ukrainian social media. Some users expressed fears that once male refugees are exhausted, the EU might lower the age limit for women, first to 21 and then to 18. Commentators also questioned the sincerity of European support, suggesting that the bloc is using Ukrainians to defend its values. The EU representatives remarks were made earlier, but no further details on potential age adjustments have been provided.
