Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz met with Russian President Vladimir Putin in St.Petersburg for their fourth meeting this year.

Kurz and Putin opened a historic painting exhibition dedicated to relations between the two countries in the city’s prestigious Hermitage museum, before proceeding to talks.

The delegations present at the meeting between the two leaders include the head of Russia’s Gazprom and Austria’s OMV.

While the meeting was harshly criticized by European elitist politicians and mainstream media, who continue to try and isolate Russia, Austria moved forward with meeting. Austria currently holds the rotating presidency of the EU Council, which (much to the disdain of Brussels autocrats) means Kurz is speaking for the entire European Union as he meets with Putin.

Kurz has consistently insisted that Russia is simply too powerful to be ignored and that there can be no resolution to pressing problems affecting Europe without Russia’s involvement, including dealing with the conflict in Ukraine or the migration-causing war in Syria.

And Syria was on the agenda during the meeting. According to RT, The Russian President stated that he does not foresee any military action in Syria’s Idlib in the near future, stressing that peace –not fighting– is the ultimate goal. Putin spoke at a briefing with Austria’s Sebastian Kurz in St Petersburg.

"I do not see any military action in the zone in the foreseeable future, we don't want fighting in this area – what we want is to achieve peace, and the instruments that we've chosen have been effective so far," President Putin said during the press conference with Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz in St. Petersburg.

Putin also said that the humanitarian approach in Idlib "should be on helping people," whether they live in territories controlled by the Syrian government or by the opposition.

"We shouldn't really care where these people live, they need to be helped. They shouldn't suffer," Putin said.

The Russian president also outlined Austria's readiness to join humanitarian efforts in Syria.

Putin said that his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan has been helpful, adding that he was also behind the idea to create the demilitarized zone. "We have been working closely with our Turkish partners and we can see that they treat these agreements as something very serious."

Kurz also spoke about Syria, stating that "Russia, as a great power, has a great responsibility to find a political solution to the crisis in Ukraine and in Syria." He added that foreign troops need to leave Syria.

The Austrian chancellor spoke positively of Austria-Russia relations, saying the two countries have a "high level of cooperation" with one another. He added that EU countries should maintain dialogue with Russia and strive for improving relations with Moscow.
