CIA chief warns Russia over Moscow visit
The Wall Street Journal reported that the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, John Ratcliffe, made a surprise visit to Moscow—his first known visit since November 2021—as a warning to Russia against attacking any NATO member country. During the visit, he discussed intelligence activities with Russian security officials, without meeting with President Putin. The Kremlin confirmed that Putin was briefed on the meeting's outcomes. This visit comes amid increasing American concerns over Russia testing NATO's cohesion, especially in the Baltic states, and the possibility of limited military escalation or cyberattacks as means to pressure the West. The visit occurs amid worries about declining Western military reserves and the impact this may have on responses to any future Russian provocations.
