🇺🇸‼️ Putin canceled a meeting with the CIA director after learning the content of the US message, — Bell
Ratcliffe arrived in Moscow with a call to quickly negotiate an end to the war, emphasizing the deterioration of Russia’s military and economic situation.
The White House believed that the status of the CIA director would force the Kremlin to take words more seriously than ordinary signals.
The content of Ratcliffe’s negotiations with the head of SVR Naryshkin and the head of FSB Bortnikov was conveyed to Putin, and he refused to talk, calling the US position an ultimatum.
