Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer has stated that it is necessary to start negotiations with Russia to end the war in Ukraine, Spanish newspaper El Mundo reported on Feb. 26.

He suggested that to help facilitate the peace talks, other BRICS countries should be asked to mediate.

Nehammer thinks that as the third year of full-scale Russian invasion begins, it is imperative to “do more” and push for a ceasefire.

He added that Russia’s BRICS partners— Brazil, India, China, and South Africa—could be involved in the negotiation process.
