Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service chief Naryshkin:
There is nothing unusual about meeting with the CIA director. In the work of intelligence services, face-to-face meetings between their chiefs are part of the job.
A number of issues falling within the competence of the intelligence services were discussed at the meeting.
I meet practically every week with the head of one intelligence or special service from around the world.

That’s deterrence with the CIA in the room. If Ratcliffe told Moscow we see what they’re planning, the next question is whether Putin believes there’ll be real consequences. Intelligence can spoil surprise, but only policy can make the warning stick. #CIA

⚡️🇺🇦Ukraine has received a small batch of missiles for the “Patriot” air defense systems, — Zelensky.
Tonight, for the first time in a long time, 7 Iskander-M/KN-23 ballistic missiles were shot down at once.

I’ve been reminded that Viktor Orban is a complete asshole.
Why? Because Hungary just declared Russia a threat, and supported Ukraine’s sovereignty, territorial integrity, and self-defence right.
Seeing Hungary with a real leader shows how much of an asshole Orban really was.
