The talks between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer, which took place in Moscow, were short-lived, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters.
“Conversation was short by the standards of recent times,»— he said (TASS quote).
Nehammer met with Putin on 11 April. According to the Kleine Zeitung, the negotiations lasted 1 hour and 15 minutes. The chancellor became the first head of government of a European state who, since the beginning of the special operation in Ukraine, came to Moscow to personally meet with the Russian president.

After the talks, Nehammer said that he had a “very tough and open conversation” with the Russian president.
