Foreign Minister Beate Meinl-Reisinger will travel to Ukraine next week for the second time during her term.

Together with other colleagues from the European Union, she will attend a meeting in Lviv (Lemberg) in western Ukraine on May 9, at the invitation of Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrij Sybiha. A spokesperson for Meinl-Reisinger confirmed a corresponding report by the "Kronenzeitung" to the APA on Saturday.

Foreign Minister Meinl-Reisinger travels to Ukraine again

On May 9, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will also invite several heads of state and government to Kyiv. At the same time, the Russian leadership traditionally celebrates the victory over Nazi Germany in World War II on Red Square in Moscow.

During her first visit as Foreign Minister in mid-March in Kyiv, Meinl-Reisinger emphasized that Austria had stood by Ukraine "since day one of the brutal Russian aggression." She announced at that time that this support would continue.

The announcement made there that the federal government would very soon appoint a special envoy for Ukraine was finally implemented with the nomination of former Verbund CEO Wolfgang Anzengruber at the end of April, who will take on this role on a voluntary basis.
