Russian presidential press secretary Peskov said on the 26th that Russian President Vladimir Putin did not meet with US Central Intelligence Director Ratcliffe, who recently visited. Peskov revealed at a press conference held on the same day that Ratcliffe's visit is related to contacts between Russian and American intelligence agencies, and Putin has learned about the relevant situation. Peskov believes that it is too early to talk about the extent to which this visit will help Russian-American relations “get out of crisis,” but this contact itself is of positive significance. When asked if the two sides discussed issues such as Ukraine and Iran, Peskov did not give a clear answer.
