A US military plane landed in Moscow on Tuesday as CIA Director John Ratcliffe undertook an surprise visit to Russia for talks with government officials. The Kremlin indicated it had no information about the official transport landing in the capital.
Ratcliffe traveled to Moscow for surprise discussions with officials, amid 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 reported they could not verify details concerning the flight. Official sources have not provided additional information about the purpose of the visit or the flight itinerary.
