Austria is neutral militarily, but not necessarily neutral in its position, assured Alexander Van der Bellen.
The Federal President of Austria Alexander Van der Bellen arrived on an official visit to Kyiv. He reported it to Twitter on Wednesday, February 1st.
“I came to Kyiv. After almost a year of war, Ukraine has not been forgotten. Together with the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky and the brave people of Ukraine, we are defending European values,” the message said .
In another video, filmed on a train to Ukraine, Van der Bellen said he was on his way to Kyiv to show solidarity with Ukrainians repelling a Russian invasion.
“The fact that this trip to Kyiv is taking place immediately after my official inauguration is a purposeful demonstration of the unity and support of the people of Ukraine,” he said.
Van der Bellen was accompanied by an Austrian delegation, which was traveling with a specific aid package “in particular the generators that are urgently needed.”
“Yes, Austria is neutral militarily. But we are by no means neutral in our position. Ukrainians are fighting for their country and the future of their children, and we help them in this,” emphasized the head of Austrian.
