CIA director John Ratcliffe What forced the allies to issue an unexpected demand to Kyiv? Washington asked Kyiv to refrain from carrying out strikes on Moscow, an informed source told RBC-Ukraine. According to the source, the United States asked Ukraine not to attack Moscow these next days because a delegation of senior US officials would be in the Russian capital. Earlier today, CIA Director John Ratcliffe arrived in Moscow. A US aircraft landed at Vnukovo Airport, after which a convoy of vehicles with US diplomatic license plates was seen traveling through the Russian capital. According to Flightradar24, the aircraft arrived from Riga. The purpose of the US delegation’s visit and the identities of those on board remain unknown. The Kremlin said it had no information about the arrival of the US aircraft. Russian leader Vladimir Putin’s spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, also said that no meetings with White House officials had been scheduled. Flight-tracking data later confirmed that the aircraft was a US Boeing C-17 Globemaster III. Its registration number was identified as RCH4555. The aircraft that arrived in Moscow had flown to Riga on August 23 from Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland — the base used by aircraft carrying US President Donald Trump and other senior officials.
