They should no longer help Russian President Vladimir Putin finance his war of aggression against Ukraine, Chymenez said in an interview with ZiB2 broadcast on Friday evening. In general, the diplomat thanked Austria for the humanitarian and economic support. In the past few days, Raiffeisen Bank International (RBI) in particular has come under pressure because of its commitment to Russia. Almost the entire board, including CEO Johann Strobl, was put on a list in Kyiv to be recommended for sanctions. The RBI is also currently accused of granting loan deferrals to Russian soldiers. The RBI says it is required by law to do so.
“moral question”
In addition to international law, there are also moral issues, said Chymynez. In general, however, he emphasized that Austria had already achieved enormous things “with humanitarian projects” and “financial and economic aid.” This is a contribution to “that we continue to exist.”
The Ambassador emphasized that Ukraine itself has the greatest interest in seeing the war come to an end quickly. But that is only possible if Russia withdraws from Ukraine and is subsequently held accountable. He recalled that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy had already presented a “ten-point peace plan”. “It’s on the table. But Russia has no interest in negotiations.”
