Background
- CIA Director John Ratcliffe arrived in Moscow on 25 August for talks with Russian officials.
- Russian media report that Putin had been scheduled to attend a major event involving hundreds of people, but it was postponed several days ago.
- The United States asked Ukraine to refrain from attacks on Moscow, St Petersburg and northern Russia because of the visit by its officials.
- According to media reports, Ratcliffe may have warned Putin about the consequences of a new mobilisation and an attack on NATO.
- It should be noted that the last CIA director to visit Russia in person was William Burns in November 2021, when he sought to warn against military action against Ukraine and determine the reasons for the buildup of Russian troops near the borders.
