Peace appell: No more war in Ukraine!

Laimgrubengasse 10, 1060 Wien, Österreich - The debate about the ongoing war in Ukraine, which has been raging for three years now, is increasing in intensity. The Freedom Party, represented by NABG.

While the Freedom Party criticizes the EU's supposed war interests, it becomes clear that the war in Ukraine not only has geopolitical dimensions, but is also deeply interwoven into the history and culture of the country, as
