Trump explains Ratcliffe's Moscow trip
U.S. President Donald Trump revealed that CIA Director John Ratcliffe's visit to Moscow was "somewhat routine," and its likely purpose was to discuss the war in Ukraine. Trump denied that the visit involved other issues such as Russia's testing of NATO's resilience or the U.S. campaign against Iran, explaining that Ratcliffe had contact with Russian intelligence agencies without meeting President Vladimir Putin, who was kept informed of the conversations. The Kremlin described these contacts as a positive development, although their impact on the crisis remains unclear. Meanwhile, fighting and attacks continue between Russia and Ukraine, with Kyiv announcing territorial gains in the south and shelling 16 Russian targets, including oil facilities and air bases. Ukrainian strikes have resulted in civilian casualties and the destruction of warehouses, while Russian forces have shot down hundreds of drones. On the political front, both sides are facing efforts that threaten to derail peace talks amid Moscow's escalation of its attacks and ongoing conflicts on the Ukrainian front.
