"I reaffirmed Austria’s full commitment to Ukraine’s independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity and we will continue to stand with Ukraine," Meinl-Reisinger tweeted.
On 3 March, the new Austrian government, led by Chancellor Christian Stocker, was sworn in following a five-month political crisis.
Earlier, Meinl-Reisinger warned against a dictated peace in Ukraine.
