Well, Ukraine's going to need its population and their economic output back, and while the war is not over, the fronts have considerably stabilized -- most of the country is not at risk of attacks aside from the occasional drone or ballistic missile, and there aren't deep penetrations into Ukrainian-held territory any more. I think that winter 2024 may be the last electricity crunch; population being outside of Ukraine helped reduce demand at a time of scarcity.

While I don't at all think that this is the most-diplomatic way for Slovakia to do this, I suppose that it might be something that Kyiv could live with insofar as it aligns with Kyiv's concerns.
Not going to happen in Germany, welfare is (perpetually) at the constitutional minimum. Kicking people out OTOH is an option, especially for people without job or kids. Kicking kids out won't happen before the end of the war and without job, depends on the employment market. Depending on how quickly Ukraine joins the EU, possibly never.
What's going to be an issue is the draft: Ukraine is likely to have to guarantee that noone is going to be forced to serve at arms they'll have to offer positions in the rear, civil defence, etc... which is then going to cause a discussion within Ukraine whether that shouldn't apply to everyone, not just people who were in Germany.
