John Ratcliffe, the Director of the CIA, visited Moscow on August 25, meeting with senior Russian intelligence officials Sergey Naryshkin and Alexander Bortnikov. He also reportedly met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in a non-official setting at Shannon Airport in Ireland on September 21, during a refueling stop. These meetings were discussed in the context of potential diplomatic efforts related to the Ukraine conflict, though the White House and CIA denied Ratcliffe was appointed as a primary negotiator.
