CIA chief proposed trilateral talks during Moscow visit - Axios
Ratcliffe proposed a trilateral meeting between Putin, Trump and Zelensky during his covert trip to Moscow in an effort to find a resolution to the ongoing Ukraine conflict, Axios has reported, citing sources familiar with the matter.
Ratcliffe made an unannounced trip to Moscow on August 25. The following day, Kremlin spokesman Peskov confirmed that contact between the two countries' intelligence services had taken place, but said Putin had not met with the CIA chief. "Of course, Putin is immediately briefed on everything," Peskov said, calling the meeting "a positive phenomenon" while declining to give further details...
Why does everyone keep calling it "covert" and "secret"? Everyone knew about it before the dude even landed. Also, Axios... These guys really have a talent for just making shit up or publishing whatever they hear from the local hobo, so I'm going to take this with a salt mine. Get it? Like, a lot of salt.
