An economic or political “catastrophe” in Ukraine could trigger a “domino effect” of economic difficulties within the European Union, Austria’s finance minister warned yesterday.
Josef Pröll, who is also the country’s vice chancellor, urged the EU to support Ukraine because of its strategic importance and its political and economic ties with union members.
“Ukraine is a very important keystone country and we must avoid a domino effect inside the EU, if there is economic and political catastrophe in such a huge neighbouring country. There could be a domino effect in terms of economic difficulties in the EU” Mr Pröll told the FT.
