Context piece
- Gabrielius Landsbergis said the CIA chief’s visit to Moscow appeared aimed at reaching an agreement rather than issuing threats.
- He cited a rapidly released U.S. account about a warning against attacking NATO and another significant meeting held at nearly the same time.
Gabrielius Landsbergis says the CIA chief’s visit to Moscow paints a fairly clear picture: the purpose was to reach an agreement, not to trade threats.
Landsbergis pointed to the speed with which the Americans circulated their account of the visit. In that version, one of the most influential figures in the United States warned Moscow not to attack NATO.
He also drew attention to another significant meeting that took place almost at the same time. For Landsbergis, the combination of the warning and the parallel meeting suggests that the Moscow trip had a broader negotiating purpose.
