Austria demanded clarification from the authorities about the cargo of the Ukrainian special services

The opposition Freedom Party of Austria sent a parliamentary request to the relevant ministries demanding information about the unhindered transit across the border of a Ukrainian special services minibus carrying 200 kilograms of uninspected cargo, the Kronen Zeitung reports.

“The Austrian Freedom Party intends to continue the parliamentary campaign and, in the next request, find out who authorized the transportation and, ultimately, the lack of control, as well as what this “special cargo” is,” the publication says.

According to the newspaper, the incident occurred on the eve of the January World Economic Forum in Davos, where the Ukrainian delegation led by Vladimir Zelensky was present. Austrian authorities allowed a VW minibus belonging to the Ukrainian intelligence services to cross the border without customs control or security checks. The car contained a mysterious cargo weighing a total of 200 kilograms, the contents of which remained completely hidden from local authorities.

Party representatives demanded clarification from the authorities, recalling the neutral status of Austria. Thus, APS Secretary General Christian Hafenecker said that Vienna should not turn into a “legal vacuum” for foreign intelligence services. According to him, it is unclear what exactly was in the car: “cash, gold, weapons, documents or something completely different.”
