Former Austrian chancellor Sebastian Kurz has been very silent in recent months. His only political tweet is the following condemnation of terrorist attacks but nothing about the Russian attack on Ukraine. This is not a coincidence 🧵 
In January he joined an NGO called the council on tolerance and reconciliation.
This NGO has been very suspicious concerning it had no discernable activities in years and was widely unknown derstandard.at/story/20001324…
The driving force of this odd NGO is Moshe Kantor, a Russian billionaire and a close associate of Putin. haaretz.com/jewish/MAGAZIN…
Is Kurz's silence thus a surprise? It seems like his silence is directly linked to working for a dubious NGO linked to Putin's inner circle. It's just the lasted chapter in the problematic relationship of former Austrian chancellors with Putin's Russia.
