Chancellor Nehammer offers Trump to hold peace talks between Russia and Ukraine in Austria
Austrian Federal Chancellor Karl Nehammer, in a conversation with US President-elect Donald Trump, suggested that peace talks between Russia and Ukraine should be held in Austria.
He said this in an interview with PULS 24 TV channel, Censor.NET reports.
"I suggested Austria as a good place for negotiations, as a neutral country," said Nehammer.
He also added that the phone conversation between him and Trump on Monday "quickly turned to the topic of the war between Russia and Ukraine."
"Trump asked for my opinion because I, as one of the few, met with Putin and Zelenskyy. He also shared his vision. And very quickly we started talking about how important peace is and how important it is to stop the war," the Austrian chancellor said.
In his opinion, Austria's neutrality can be used to good effect.
At the same time, when asked whether Trump wants to reduce military support for Ukraine, Nehammer said that he got the impression that Trump is "very emotional, in a positive way, about ending the war" and "very interested in silencing the weapons."
He also did not specify whether Trump expects territorial concessions from Ukraine: according to him, the conversation lasting almost 30 minutes did not go into such details.
