Austria Contributes to EU Peace Fund for Non-lethal Aid Despite Neutrality

Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer has disclosed Austria’s financial contributions to the EU Peace Fund, emphasizing that, due to the country’s neutral status, funds are allocated exclusively for non-lethal assistance

Speaking at the EU summit in Brussels, Nehammer highlighted Austria's commitment to supporting Ukraine within its neutrality constraints, ensuring contributions are directed towards protective equipment rather than weaponry. Austria's adherence to neutrality is maintained alongside its full participation in EU sanctions against Russia and its support for Ukraine. Nehammer affirmed Austria's constructive role in aiding Ukraine, reflecting its solidarity with EU sanctions against the Russian Federation and its support for a special tribunal over Russia's actions, all while adhering to its neutral stance.
