Events in Russia also occupied the participants of the “Europe Forum” in Göttweig on Saturday. Chancellor Karl Nehammer was concerned: “Nuclear weapons must not fall into the wrong hands,” he said. He is in contact with EU colleagues and Western secret services are constantly analyzing the situation in Russia.
Bulgarian President Rumen Radev stated that the situation in Russia is dangerous and still unclear. “It’s not a sport, it’s a war,” he said when asked if Russian President Vladimir Putin or Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin would win.
“When mercenaries have heavy weapons, it’s always unpredictable.”
Ambassador of Ukraine: “Weakness of Russia”
Speaking to APA at the European Forum, Vasyl Chymynets, Ukraine’s ambassador to Austria, said: “This is a war that Putin started against Ukraine in 2014. Prigozhin’s actions since yesterday show that the Russian propaganda that this war against our justified is now completely destroyed. Putin himself caused the problems in his own country. It shows the weakness of the Russian regime. With each passing day in the war against Ukraine, Russia is getting weaker. What matters now is continued support to Ukraine.”
Khymynets also recalled the coup against Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev in August 1991. “We are now witnessing another coup in Russia. And Putin could be responsible for the collapse of the Russian Federation.”
Hahn: ‘Make sure Ukraine continues to receive support’
EU Commissioner Johannes Hahn spoke of a “fragile, opaque case”. “We must now ensure that Ukraine continues to receive the support it needs.”
The foreign ministry in Vienna said it is monitoring the situation and is working closely with the team at the Austrian embassy in Moscow.
