CIA Director, John Ratcliffe, is said to have secretly arrived in Moscow aboard an American military plane.

The CIA Director, John Ratcliffe, reportedly traveled to Moscow on Tuesday for meetings with Russian officials, according to CBS News and Axios, cited by Reuters. The visit is said to have taken place shortly after an American military aircraft, a Boeing C-17 Globemaster, landed at Vnukovo airport in the Russian capital, after a direct flight from Riga. American sources did not specify who Ratcliffe is set to meet with or what the discussion topics are, but the trip comes amid a stalemate in negotiations between Washington and Moscow regarding the war in Ukraine.
