Foreign Minister Meinl-Reisinger: Russian assets should benefit Ukraine

Vienna-Foreign Minister Beate Meinl-Reisinger (NEOS) can imagine that not only the interest of frozen, Russian abroad foreign assets benefit from the reconstruction of Ukraine, but that the assets themselves are used. This was said by Austria’s new chief diplomat on Saturday in the “Lunch Journal” of ORF radio Ö1. “I welcome that,” Meinl-Reisinger commented on such plans from the EU Commission. The prerequisite is that a legal framework is created for this.
