BBC: Austria's far-right walks out of Zelensky speech
More than 20 far-right Austrian MPs walked out of parliament during a speech by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
The politicians from the Freedom Party (FPO) argued Mr Zelensky's speech violated Austria's neutrality.
They warned ahead of the speech they would hold some form of protest against the address.
Austria has previously said it cannot help Ukraine's defence militarily, but does support Kyiv politically.
In a video address, Mr Zelensky thanked Austria for its humanitarian assistance and help clearing land mines.
He was speaking on the 400th day of Russian invasion. He also invited MPs to travel to Ukraine for themselves and see the destruction caused.

Zelensky is everywhere, and I don't understand it. I don't like him. He is a dirty-looking man who doesn't even bother to put on clean clothes.
Scapegoats must be made to look like Noriega before they can be ushered down the path of Noriega.

It's such a con
