A US military plane landed in Moscow on Tuesday as CIA Director John Ratcliffe made an surprise visit to Russia for talks with state representatives. The Kremlin indicated it had no details about the official transport landing in the capital.
Ratcliffe travelled to Moscow for undisclosed talks with officials, after reports from US media outlets including WSJ, CBS News, CNN, BBC, and New York Post. The arrival of the US military aircraft caused confusion in Moscow after Russian government representatives stated they could not disclose details about the flight. Official sources have withheld more context about the reason for the discussions or the flight itinerary.
