A US military plane arrived in Moscow on Tuesday as CIA Director John Ratcliffe conducted 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 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 created mystery in Moscow after Russian government representatives reported they could not disclose details concerning the flight. Official sources have withheld further details about the purpose of the visit or the flight itinerary.
