Former Austrian Foreign Minister Karin Kneissl, currently residing in Russia, has reacted with composure to the possibility of having her Austrian citizenship revoked. Speaking to Russian media outlets, Kneissl stated she would simply turn to the United Nations if necessary, referencing the availability of travel documents for stateless persons. This comes amid scrutiny over her connections to Russia and a potential change in Austrian law that could lead to the loss of citizenship for those who have acquired another nationality. Kneissl did not elaborate on whether she has applied for Russian citizenship. She indicated a willingness to accept the outcome if Austria proceeds with revoking her citizenship. The situation highlights the ongoing debate surrounding dual citizenship and the legal ramifications for individuals with ties to Russia. Kneissl's comments suggest she is prepared to navigate a future as a stateless person, should Austria take action.
