Sri Lanka, Aug. 27 -- CIA Director John Ratcliffe's unannounced trip to Moscow on Tuesday was for contact between the US and Russian security services, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said.
A US Air Force C-17A Globemaster III, identified by flight trackers as RCH4555, flew from Joint Base Andrews to Riga on Sunday evening before continuing on Tuesday to Moscow's Vnukovo Airport. Later that day, a motorcade with US diplomatic plates was spotted in central Moscow.
CBS News first reported that Ratcliffe was in Moscow for meetings, citing sources familiar with the situation. It was also not clear whether the visit - which ultimately lasted roughly eight hours involved any other senior US officials.Access Premium News
