"Oh my God, 55% of Austria’s gas continues to come from Russia,” Martin Selmayr lamented in Vienna. Paying for continued Russian supplies was tantamount to helping finance its war against Ukraine, and no one protested, he added.

It's not the neutral kind of neutrality, it's the swiss "fan the flames of bloodshed by profiting from the whole thing as much as possible" kind of neutrality.

I think it's the "I can't let you kill this guy in front of me, so, to remain neutral in that matter, I will turn around, put my fingers into my ears and if the other one manages to - out of accident - stumble into your knife a couple of times, it's just something I couldn't help about." kind of neutrality the Austrians are talking about.

Yep, the swiss stayed neutral because of nazi blood money...sounds like Austria is doing the same for russian blood oil.
