Vienna available for Biden-Putin summit: Sebastian Kurz

As Austria's Federal Chancellor Sebastian Kurz says, Vienna is available as a possible location for a summit between US President Joe Biden and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

"We are already in contact with the Russian and American sides if there really should be such a meeting," Kurz said, adding several cities are currently eligible, "and Vienna is one of them".

Biden proposed such a meeting with Putin a few days ago. Tensions between the United States and Russia had recently increased.
