Austria as a neutral place: hope of peace between Russia and Ukraine

Vienna, Österreich - Austria remains a permanent supporter of Ukraine in the middle of the continuing conflict with Russia. In a recent conversation between Walter Rosenkranz, the National Council President of the FPÖ, and Ruslan Stefantschuk, the chairman of the Werchowna Rada, it was again emphasized that the war that started by Russia was contrary to international law. Rosary brought Austria into conversation as a neutral place for possible peace negotiations, emphasizing that discussions can only take place with Ukraine at the negotiating table and not across their heads, as could be the case with Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, as Today.at reported.

The Austrian politician assured Stefantschuk the continued support of Austria as part of neutrality. He described this neutrality as a "success model" and essential for the country's democratic stability. Stefantschuk, who thanked Austria's support, expressed optimistically about future humanitarian aid, especially in view of Trump's possible presidency in the USA. At the same time, he underlined that Ukraine is not only interested in territorial peace, but also in a fundamental decision about the future of democracy or dictatorship in the coming generations, as well as vienna.at emphasized.

contradictory political currents

In the political landscape of Austria, the FPÖ is often criticized, especially because of its continuing contacts with Russia and its opposition to EU sanctions. These tensions could influence bilateral relationships with Kiev, while the support of Ukraine by Austria is still being held up as part of the EU. Rosenkranz made it clear that there would be "no change" in the Austro aid, which indicates continuing bilateral cooperation, even after the FPÖ has repeatedly submitted applications to request the government to cancel financial contributions to the EU. Despite these conflicts, the security and peace stransition between the countries remains in the foreground.
