Austrian experts believe that Austria must pay more attention to cooperation with Ukraine.

Chairman of the Institute for the Danube Region and Central Europe Erhard Busek said in Kyiv on Friday at a briefing following the results of the Austrian-Ukrainian days that there are reports about the situation on the border, but not the whole of the political situation in the country. He said it is necessary, because a war is being waged on Ukrainian territory. In addition, it is necessary to report about the country's economic development.

According to him, it is necessary to establish more civil society contacts between Austria and Ukraine.

Former Stability Pact Coordinator of the countries of Central and Eastern Europe Gustav Gressel said that the Austrian side should provide Ukraine with more support. He said the Austrian side, unfortunately, belongs to the category, which does little to help Ukraine. This is surprising, because Austria helped the Baltic countries and other states a lot, when the European Union was expanding.

According to him, Europe should fight the Russian propaganda together with Ukraine to join efforts.

Senior Researcher of the European Council on Foreign Relations Stefan Haybock noted that Austria talks about Ukraine little. He said that they know little about Ukraine and when they turn on the news they hear that this is just a small country in the east and there is no constant news about Ukraine. Haybock said they are not informed about the progress of reforms in the field of law enforcement, justice and legislation.
