John Retcliffe’s visit to Moscow

Russian media report that a very large-scale event involving hundreds of people had been scheduled for Putin, but it was postponed a few days ago.
- The US asked Ukraine to refrain from attacks on Moscow, St Petersburg and northern Russia whilst its officials were visiting.
- According to media reports, Retcliffe may have warned Putin of the consequences of a new mobilisation and an attack on NATO.
