O-TON KARL NEHAMMER, AUSTRIAN FEDERAL CHANCELLOR “In general, I have no optimistic impression that I can bring to you from the conversation with President Putin. The offensive is obviously being massively prepared. But that is also the reason for the clear advocacy that the International Red Cross needs that is stable.” “Now it is important that the humanitarian corridors actually work for the besieged cities in such a way that the civilians can be evacuated and that the International Red Cross has access to these cities, and that the access is safe and permanent.” “It wasn’t a friendly visit, but a clear confrontation with the facts resulting from the Ukraine war, that mutual blame is then assigned and the Russian side emphasizes that they are very willing to stick to the corridors, but the Ukrainian side isn’t. That’s it a form of argument which I did not accept, but pointed out that it must be the task of the Russian army to ensure the security of these corridors.” “What was important from my point of view and I reported this to both the President of the Commission and the Federal Chancellor of the Republic of Germany is that I believe the one-on-one meeting is an important format. It is important to have personal contact and to familiarize the President with the realities of the situation to confront the war. This path should continue, so that there is no vacuum in the clarity of the consequences of the war, to also show them for the Russian Federation.”
