CIA Director John Ratcliffe is reported to have spent a few hours in Moscow, without any details being released. According to The New York Times: Mr. Ratcliffe was on the ground for about eight hours. It was not immediately clear why he was in Moscow or whom he met with in the Russian capital.
There was no clarification or explanation from Ratcliffe or anyone in the administration. The CIA Director had previously been appointed to the negotiating team of Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, who have been active in pursuing a peace deal for the Ukrainian conflict.
Ratcliffe took a military plane to Russia, landing in Riga, capital of Latvia, before journeying to Moscow.
Is this some sort of “Nixon Goes to China” event that may unleash new realities? Doubtful, but something’s definitely afoot.
