"It should be arrested": Austria explained whether there was a threat to Putin in the country's territory

Austria has chosen a military neutrality, but supports Ukraine in the war resolved by Russia. Parliament explained what Vladimir Putin should expect if he decides to cross the Austrian border. Austria is a nail country, and in the matter of arrest of Russian President Vladimir Putin will be guided by international and criminal law. A representative of the Conservative Party Carolina Edtstadler said this in an interview for Tagesspiegel.

"If he steps on the Austrian land, it must be arrested," the lawyer said. Edtstadler emphasized that Austria is a military-neutral but not politically. "We are solidarity with the people of Ukraine, we support it in humanitarian and economic terms, but not in the supply of weapons. And vice versa, we do not block the decision on payment of support from the EU," the deputy explained.

According to her, Austria will not allow the deployment of foreign military bases, and the state cannot join any military unions. At the same time, Edtstadler was asserted, the Austrians are able to support Ukraine. "For us, neutrality was the path of freedom and undoubtedly the formation of identity. In particular, Vienna has proven itself as a place of peace talks and whereabouts of international organizations," Edtstadler said.
