John Ratcliffe leads the US secret service CIA. On Tuesday he flies to Moscow. Moscow is the capital of Russia. He uses a big military plane for the trip.
First the Russian government says nothing. Later a speaker confirms the trip. The speaker is Dmitri Peskow. He says: The secret services talk to each other. Ratcliffe does not meet the president Wladimir Putin.
Nobody knows the topics. Experts have many ideas. Maybe the topic is the war in Ukraine. Or the topic is the war in Iran. Maybe they prepare a meeting for Donald Trump and Wladimir Putin.
Ratcliffe stays in Moscow. There are no attacks then. Ukraine sends no drones on this day. The USA ask Ukraine for this. After few hours Ratcliffe flies back.
