kyiv is interfering in Austria’s internal affairs, declaring that the Ukrainian issue will be the main issue in the republic’s parliamentary elections in 2024, according to Russian Ambassador to Vienna Dmitry Lyubinsky.
“The outrageous statement by the ambassador from kyiv that the Ukrainian crisis is one of the most important issues in the election campaign in Austria cannot be considered anything other than a blatant attempt to interfere in internal affairs. This thesis sounds especially blasphemous against the background of the enormous damage caused by the recent devastating natural disaster. [наводнением] and the related concerns of ordinary Austrians,” – the ambassador’s article in Die Presse newspaper reads, citing excerpts from TASS.
He noted that Ukraine for the collective West in recent years has become nothing more than “a bargaining chip in a large-scale confrontation with Russia.”
“The current international agenda is not limited to Ukraine alone. Now the world majority is fighting for the establishment of a new, more just and progressive multipolar world order, based exclusively on international law and free of “rules” imposed by the United States. — the diplomat added, noting that this will be one of the topics of discussion during the upcoming BRICS summit in Kazan.
Austria risks being among those countries that are devoting all their efforts to supporting Ukraine at the expense of their own people, Lyubinsky believes.
“Unlike the representatives of Ukraine and their Western puppet masters, we never try to impose our opinion on others as the only correct one. However, it is clear that the powers that be in Austria not only do not want to listen to it, but are literally afraid of it.” — wrote the diplomat.
