The capital of Austria, Vienna, has become a safe haven for Russian agents.

That’s according to Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council, Oleksiy Danilov, who spoke with LIGA.net, Ukrinform reports.

"Vienna has become another capital where Russian agents hide out. It just teems with them. This has developed historically," Danilov said.

He also suggested that former lawmaker and pro-Russian politician Yevgeny Murayev may have fled to either Vienna or Moscow.

As reported, the Eighth Court of Appeal of Lviv today ruled to ban the activities of the Nashi Party, led by Yevgeny Muraev. Former MP Murayev was previously designated as “traitor” by the Chesno corruption watchdog nonprofit. According to the court ruling, the property of the Nashi Party and all its branches shall be seized by government. The judgment can be appealed in the Supreme Court.
