The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs is circulating a claim by Russia's Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) that, after "catastrophic" Ukrainian military losses, EU leaders "have turned to" more than one million Ukrainian men living in the EU. According to the SVR, Brussels sees them as "expendable" and plans to force them home "by any means necessary".

The claim is the Russian intelligence service's and the post offers no evidence for it. TASS carried the same claim earlier today.
