Ukraine President Zelenskyy Says US Shared CIA Chief's Moscow Meeting Details

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy revealed Friday that the United States has shared intelligence with Kyiv concerning recent meetings held in Moscow. Zelenskyy announced the information transfer via Telegram, stating, "Today we received information from the American side about the meetings in Moscow that took place in these days. There were a series of meetings there."

While Zelenskyy did not disclose specific attendees or details of the meetings, he expressed gratitude to the U.S. for the intelligence and the "necessary tone of conversation with Russia." This disclosure comes after a Wall Street Journal report indicated that CIA Director John Ratcliffe had traveled to Moscow to caution Russia against any potential attacks on NATO members.

“

Today we received information from the American side about the meetings in Moscow that took place in these days. There were a series of meetings there.

The Kremlin has denied the report, and U.S. President Donald Trump downplayed the significance of Ratcliffe's alleged trip, asserting that Russian President Vladimir Putin would not attack a NATO country. However, two sources told Reuters that Ratcliffe did raise the possibility of a Russian operation against a NATO member during his meeting, though the primary purpose of the trip remains unclear. Discussions also reportedly touched upon Russia's support for Iran.

Thank you for the information and for the necessary tone of conversation with Russia.
