New Facts: Ratcliffe Makes Unannounced Visit to Moscow
CIA Director John Ratcliffe arrived in Moscow on Tuesday for unannounced meetings with Russian officials. It is his first known visit to Russia since taking the job. His arrival followed the landing of a U.S. Air Force C-17 transport at Moscow’s Vnukovo airport and the appearance of a U.S. diplomatic motorcade at a Moscow airport.
The trip was arranged on short notice, with Ratcliffe traveling overnight. Ahead of the visit, the United States asked Ukraine to pause drone and missile strikes in Moscow and other northern Russian cities from Monday through Wednesday.
