Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer met with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow on Monday and reported little good news.

Nehammer, the first European Union leader to meet with Putin since he ordered the invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24, described the meeting as “not a friendly visit,” according to a statement from an Austrian official, CNN reported. The Russia visit came after Nehammer visited Ukraine, where he saw “the immeasurable suffering caused by the Russian war of aggression.”
