Head of the Austrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs Alexander Schallenberg said that Vienna does not plan to send military personnel to Ukrainian territory due to its neutrality. This was reported by TASS.
According to him, such discussions are unnecessary; Vienna will remain committed to neutrality. The minister added that Austria will not send military personnel, military equipment, weapons or ammunition to Ukraine.
Schallenberg emphasized that there is no consensus on this issue in the North Atlantic Alliance.
Formerly Finnish Foreign Minister Elina Valtonen statedHe said Western countries, including the United States, should not be categorically opposed to the idea of sending troops to Ukraine if the conflict worsens.
The other day, Italian Foreign Ministry President Antonio Tajani commentedHe said that NATO should exclude the possibility of sending troops to Ukraine because this decision threatens the beginning of the third world war.
Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky in an interview with French television channel BFMTV statedUkraine does not need the French army. He announced that in case of conflict between Russia and one of the NATO countries, the French army could be sent to one of the North Atlantic Alliance countries.
