Vienna is one of the cities being considered as the venue for a possible summit between Russian President Vladimir Putin and his US counterpart Donald Trump, the Kremlin said on Saturday.
Putin said last month that the proposed summit between him and Trump was not working out for now and was beset by problems.
Trump said in March that the two leaders would meet soon, but since then already poor ties between Washington and Moscow have deteriorated further over the conflict in Syria and the poisoning of a former Russian spy in Britain.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters Saturday that Putin and Trump discussed the prospects for their meeting in a March phone call and talked about locations, with Vienna as a possibility.
Speaking in Qingdao in China where Putin is attending a regional summit, Peskov noted that "there have been no concrete agreements or understandings, and no specific discussions are being conducted now."
Peskov added the issue also came up for discussion during Putin's talks with Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz earlier this week, but he emphasized that Russia and the US first need to come to an agreement.
