The Kremlin rejected information from the American press regarding a possible attack by Russia on a NATO member state.

The Kremlin has denied articles from the American press suggesting that Russia could attack a NATO member state, stating that the purpose of CIA Director John Ratcliffe's visit to Moscow was to warn against such an action.

The spokesperson for the Russian presidency, Dmitry Peskov, stated that this information is "horror stories" that do not reflect the reality or intentions of the Russian Federation.
