I welcome the decision of the Council on our proposal to continue the immobilisation of Russian Sovereign Assets.

We are sending a strong signal to Russia that as long as this brutal war of aggression continues, Russia’s costs will continue to rise.

Heute heißt es immer wieder, man habe das Volk beim EU-Beitritt 1994/95 in Sachen Neutralität "belogen" oder das Thema zumindest kleingeredet. Aber stimmt das?
