A US military plane arrived in Moscow on Tuesday as CIA Director John Ratcliffe made an unreported journey to Russia for talks with state representatives. The Kremlin stated it had no information about the military aircraft landing in the capital.
Ratcliffe flew to Moscow for surprise discussions 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 reported they could not disclose details about the flight. Official sources have not released additional information about the reason for the discussions or the flight itinerary.
