Between January and March of this year, Germany's Federal Office for Family and Civil Society Tasks (Bafza) received 2,656 applications for conscientious objection to military service, reflecting a steady increase since 2022, likely due to concerns stemming from Russia's war against Ukraine, with potential requests exceeding last year's record of nearly 3,900. #MilitaryService #DraftRefusal #YouthActivism #DE #RU #UA
