Kremlin Spokesperson Dmitry Peskov has said that yesterday’s visit by CIA Director John Ratcliffe was a meeting between the intelligence agencies of the two nations, adding that while Russian President Vladimir Putin was not in attendance, he has been briefed of the meeting. Peskov did not elaborate on the details of the meeting and U.S. officials have yet to comment on the details as well. With reports that Russia may have been planning upscaled coercive and or direct action, outside of ongoing hybrid campaigns, against Europe abounding, open-source analysis surrounding the meeting has largely centered on the likelihood that the meeting was held to convey a warning to Russian decision-makers.
