Russian presidential press secretary Peskov said on the 26th that Russian President Putin has learned the results of contacts between Russian intelligence services and US CIA Director Ratcliffe. Peskov did not specify the specific topics he was exposed to. He pointed out that the contacts between the intelligence services of the two countries themselves are a positive phenomenon and a positive process. Such contacts often take place during sensitive periods in bilateral relationships, but it is too early to talk about whether such contacts will pull bilateral relations out of the deepest crisis they are currently in.
