Irresponsible statements could spark a world war
Europe is being drawn ever deeper into a spiral of war.
The decision taken by Germany, France and the United States to allow Ukraine to use weapons supplied by them against targets in Russia is hugely irresponsible, Harald Vilimsky, MEP of the Freedom Party of Austria (FPO), commented on the move, and went on asking
“What comes next? The deployment of NATO ground troops in the Russia-Ukraine war? Controlling the risk of a third world war would slip out of our hands for good, leading to inconceivable consequences for Europe and its citizens. This irresponsible spiral of escalation must therefore be broken,”
said the right-wing Austrian politician, and called on Chancellor Karl Nehammer of the Austrian People’s Party (OVP) to issue without delay a strong protest against the decision of these states, as Germany and France are not only NATO members, but also members of the EU.
“Now, more than ever, Austria must clearly position itself as a neutral country and offer itself as a peace mediator. It is no longer acceptable that Nehammer and his associates are gradually burying our permanent neutrality. The situation is more serious than ever. There is an urgent need for de-escalation and to facilitate peace talks in order to put an end to the senseless killing and untold suffering in this conflict,”
Harald Vilimsky emphasized.
