FPÖ Schnedlitz: War in Ukraine urgently needs peace talks, not new munitions

Who guarantees that Austrian money will not also be used to buy ammunition?

Vienna (OTS) – The EU wants to jointly buy one million artillery shells for Ukraine. For this, two billion euros will be used from the funds of the EU peace mechanism. FPÖ Secretary General NAbg. Michael Schnedlitz: “This project is crazy. What is urgently needed in the Ukraine war are real peace talks so that the bloodshed on both sides ends as soon as possible. Here, the full political weight of the EU would be needed to finally bring the warring parties to a negotiating table. With new munitions, the war is prolonged, not shortened. The federal government must therefore immediately stop Austrian payments to the EU peace mechanism because, in our opinion, it cannot be guaranteed that Austria’s money will not also be used to buy ammunition – and that would be against our neutrality!”

In this context, the FPÖ Secretary General also refers to the FPÖ parliamentary petition entitled “Active policy of peace and neutrality instead of warmongering”, which can be signed at www.kriegstoppen.at. Schnedlitz: “If the EU doesn’t change its mind soon, then this war will last for years – and because of the policy of the West, there is also a great danger that acts of war will spread further. This must be avoided at all costs So: no more arms and ammunition deliveries to Ukraine, let’s start serious peace talks!”
