‘Small Russia means small problems, large Russia means large ones.’ The grandson of the last Emperor of Austria-Hungary and head of the House of Habsburg, Karl von Habsburg, called Russia a classic colonial empire ruled by Moscow and urged Europe to start developing scenarios for its collapse as soon as possible. “Ukraine must be given the opportunity to destroy the bases from which the tyrant in Moscow attacks civilian infrastructure. Regimes like Putin’s understand only force. Soft tones without a stick only encourage such regimes. It is often said that we need to support the ‘other Russia.’ Yes, we should. At the same time, we must be fair enough to acknowledge that we can no longer find the ‘other Russia’ within Russia itself. The war to subjugate Ukraine is not only Putin’s war. We live in interesting, difficult times. They require integrity to once again give us direction and hope for the further development of a free Europe. We must commit ourselves to this!”
