@afrivision.media: CIA Director John Ratcliffe traveled to Moscow on Tuesday for meetings with Russian officials, according to U.S. officials. The trip was not publicly announced, and the CIA and Kremlin have not disclosed the purpose or participants. Ratcliffe reportedly arrived aboard a U.S. Air Force C-17 that flew from the United States through Riga, Latvia, before landing at Moscow’s Vnukovo Airport. A U.S. diplomatic motorcade was also spotted in Moscow. This is the first publicly known visit to Moscow by a CIA director since William Burns traveled there in November 2021, shortly before Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The timing is especially notable as U.S.-brokered Russia-Ukraine peace efforts remain stalled, while Washington is also dealing with Russia’s relationship with Iran. What exactly was discussed behind closed doors in Moscow? 👀🇺🇸🇷🇺 #USA #Russia #JohnRatcliffe #CIA #Moscow
