BERLIN (Reuters) – Some 175,000 refugees from Ukraine have registered in Germany so far, a government spokesperson said on Wednesday.
The number could be even higher because there is no obligation to register, government spokesperson Steffen Hebestreit told a regular news conference on Wednesday.
Chancellor Olaf Scholz would discuss the situation with the leaders of Germany’s 16 states on Thursday, added Hebestreit.
