Former Austrian Foreign Minister Kneissl Causes a Stir with a Tweet About Russia and Putin
Former Foreign Minister and FPÖ politician Karin Kneissl, who danced with Putin at her wedding in 2018, caused a stir with a tweet about the Ukraine war. Kneissl, who was considered to have good connections to Russia, was even on the supervisory board of the Russian oil company Rosneft until May.

Karin Kneissl posted a Russian meme on Twitter that, borrowing from a historical Lenin image, shows Europeans as poor peasants petitioning Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin. "February 2023. Putin receives a delegation from the EU," the Russian caption translates. "And one day the time for diplomacy, the real conversation, will come," Kneissl wrote in response.
