“Didn’t recognize a sign of the times with Putin, also because we didn’t want it”
Vienna (OTS) – In an interview with “Milborn” on PULS 24 (broadcast today, 21:15), Foreign Minister Alexander Schallenberg sees a clear suspect in the blasting of the Ukrainian Kakhovka dam: “It would not be the first time that Russia has destroyed civilian infrastructure and that is a blatant one violation of international humanitarian law. There is no evidence, but if you ask yourself the question ‘Cui bono?’ – Who benefits most from this? – one would come to the conclusion that the evidence clearly points in one direction, namely in the Russian direction.
He sees mistakes in dealing with Putin in the past: “If you listen to Putin’s speeches from earlier today, you could certainly have seen the signs of the times. We didn’t recognize it, also because we didn’t want to.”
When asked about Austrian and European migration policy, he sees problems with returns as the “Achilles heel”: “The principle must be: those who need protection should get it. If we have a system where a lot of people who don’t need any protection come here, then we undermine the Geneva Convention on Refugees.”
Also guests at “Milborn” on PULS 24: Minister of the Interior Gerhard Karner (ÖVP) and migration researcher Judith Kohlenberger.
This is followed immediately by an interview with the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Türk, as part of a “Newsroom Special”.
