Russia's foreign spy chief confirms he held talks with CIA director in Moscow
Naryshkin said the two discussed sensitive intelligence matters as U.S. media reported Ratcliffe warned Moscow against attacking NATO allies.
- On Tuesday, CIA Director John Ratcliffe made a surprise visit to Moscow to deliver a warning to Russian President Vladimir Putin against attacking North Atlantic Treaty Organization countries.
- Intelligence assessments prompted the visit, with U.S. officials concerned that Putin could launch cyberattacks or small-scale land incursions against Baltic nations in coming years.
- European officials cite numerous drone incursions as evidence of a 'hybrid war,' with an explosive drone found in Germany bearing 'the hallmarks of devices typically employed by Russia's Military Intelligence Directorate, the GRU.'
- President Donald Trump downplayed the trip as 'semi-routine,' though the Kremlin has abandoned reliance on understandings reached between Putin and Trump at their Alaska summit last August.
- Peace negotiations have reached a dead end, prompting Putin to consider escalating attacks on Ukraine, while Trump envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner face uncertainty regarding planned travel to Moscow and Kyiv.
