Former Austrian foreign minister Karin Kneissl has announced her move to St. Petersburg to set up a think tank there, AP News reports.
Kneissl served as foreign minister from 2017 to 2019, nominated by the right-wing Freedom Party, and faced criticism for her pro-Russia views.
Kneissl is known for inviting Russian President Vladimir Putin to her wedding and dancing a waltz with him in 2018.
She announced on Telegram that her ponies, previously kept in Syria, were transported to Russia on a Russian military plane.
