For the second time in just a few weeks, Foreign Minister Alexander Schallenberg (ÖVP) will receive his Ukrainian counterpart Andrij Sybiha in Vienna tomorrow, Wednesday. He attended the UN Security Council in New York on Monday to mark the thousand days of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
With hope in his luggage, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrij Sybiha will come to Vienna tomorrow, Wednesday, to meet his Austrian counterpart Alexander Schallenberg. Sybiha sees the American permission to use missiles against targets in the Russian hinterland as a possible ‘game changer’.
Ukraine “has the right to attack targets in Russia”
This could fundamentally change things, Sybiha said Monday during his speech to the UN Security Council in New York. “The longer the Ukrainian attacks last, the shorter the war will be.” His country has “every right to attack military targets on Russian territory,” the foreign minister said. The meeting of the UN Security Council took place on the occasion of the thousandth day since the start of the war in Ukraine.
Sybiha will make a stopover in Vienna on her way home from the UN Security Council in New York and then travel to Kiev during the day.
Call for an immediate end to the war
Schallenberg (ÖVP) again called for an immediate end to the war. “This war must end immediately!” Schallenberg said. But this must be done “as a comprehensive, just and lasting peace, based on international law,” he warned. The decision to conclude a peace agreement must come from the Ukrainians.
The foreign minister referred to all the “destruction, horror and despair” that the men, women and children of Ukraine have endured over the past thousand days since Russia invaded the country. He again accused Russian President Vladimir of “Putin and his accomplices,” who “must bear full responsibility for the suffering they have caused.” “There should be no impunity.”
The emergency fund grew by eight million
He also recalled that assistance from the Austrian Foreign Disaster Fund for Ukraine will be increased by another eight million euros. Five million euros would be made available for a UN World Food Program (WFP) demining project to restore agricultural land.
Another three million euros went to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) and the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) for humanitarian assistance in Ukraine and Moldova.
