A US military plane landed in Moscow on Tuesday as CIA Director John Ratcliffe conducted an unreported journey to Russia for talks with government officials. The Kremlin stated it had no knowledge about the defense plane landing in the capital.
Ratcliffe flew to Moscow for undisclosed talks 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 created mystery in Moscow after Russian government representatives reported they could not disclose details regarding the flight. Official sources have not released further details about the purpose of the visit or the flight itinerary.
