Political positions
Ukraine crisis
In an op-ed in the newspaper Der Standard of August 2014, he wrote on the Russo-Ukrainian War that negotiations with Russian President Vladimir Putin would be useless, because he would lie to any discussion partner. Instead somehow it would have to be made clear that Putin miscalculated. That would only be possible with further sanctions and if necessary, the discontinuation of all business relations with Moscow, as well as with direct military help for Kyiv in form of weapons deliveries to Ukraine, stationing of NATO troops in Ukraine and US lead air raids against separatists and Russian lines of communication.
Controversy
On 24 November 2014, Frey was part of a televised discussion at the Austrian political talk show Puls 4 News "Pro and Contra" on the Russo-Ukrainian War. Frey called another guest, German stock trader Dirk Müller, a Russian propagandist based on his description of American interests in Ukraine. He also described Johannes Voggenhuber of the Austrian Green party as inhumane towards the Ukrainian people.
