According to Exxpress, Zelensky will address the Austrian parliament via video link, the speech was planned for an earlier period, but even then the plans failed due to objections from the FPÖ.

On Thursday, Zelensky will give a speech, but not during the plenary session, but as part of a "public event" in parliament.

"The president of a country participating in an armed conflict uses the rostrum of the parliament of a neutral state as a stage for the dissemination of Ukrainian, pro-American and pro-NATO propaganda," InoTV quoted Kikl as saying.

Earlier, Variety, citing sources, reported that Zelensky for the second time in a row was refused to perform at the Oscar ceremony.

The academy declined to comment on the situation.

In February, it was reported that Zelensky would not make an address at a music festival in The Italian Sanremo.
