In the past years, evidence has started piling up that some high-energy
cosmic neutrinos can be associated with blazars in flaring states. On February
26, 2022, a new blazar-neutrino coincidence has been reported: the track-like
neutrino event IC220225A detected by IceCube is spatially coincident with the
flat-spectrum radio quasar PKS 0215+015. Like previous associations, this
source was found to be in a high optical and ${gamma}$-ray state. Moreover,
the source showed a bright radio outburst, which substantially increases the
probability of a true physical association. We have performed six observations
with the VLBA shortly after the neutrino event with a monthly cadence and are
monitoring the source with the Effelsberg 100m-Telescope, and with the
Australia Compact Telescope Array. Here, we present first results on the
contemporary parsec-scale jet structure of PKS 0215+015 in total intensity and
polarization to constrain possible physical processes leading to neutrino
emission in blazars.
