Politico published a similar report, adding that Ratcliffe also pressed Moscow to reduce its military and economic support for Iran.GalleryCIA Director John Ratcliffe (Photo: Evan Vucci/Reuters)CIA director\u2019s plane lands in Latvia after Moscow visit (Video: Reuters)The Journal\u2019s report was based on people briefed on the surprise visit, Ratcliffe\u2019s first to Russia as CIA director. Earlier this month, the newspaper reported that according to updated Western intelligence assessments, Russia could seek to test NATO\u2019s commitment to its members by attacking an alliance country in the coming years. Leaders of the Baltic states \u2014 Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia \u2014 have repeatedly voiced concern that the region could become a flashpoint between Russia and the West.The report also said U.S. officials are concerned that Russian President Vladimir Putin, under growing pressure in the war in Ukraine, now in its fifth year, could launch an attack ranging from a cyber operation to a limited military incursion, most likely against one of the Baltic states.Footage from Ukrainian strike in Donetsk: Explosions in rapid succession Destruction in Donetsk after the Ukrainian strike; no official details on the target Politico, citing two people familiar with the matter, reported that Ratcliffe warned Russian officials in Moscow not to escalate confrontation with U.S. NATO allies, with a particular emphasis on the Baltic states. One person who spoke to Politico and a British official said the CIA director also used the visit to press Russia to reduce its economic and military support for Iran.The British official said Ratcliffe raised the issue following U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent\u2019s threat to intensify sanctions against countries that refuse to sever economic ties with Iran. According to the official, Ratcliffe made clear that Russia should stop sharing weapons and defense technology with Iran and advised Moscow not to \u201coverreact\u201d if it is affected by U.S. sanctions.Neither Politico nor The Wall Street Journal said whether Ratcliffe met directly with Putin. On the day of the visit, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov initially said he did not know who had arrived in Moscow aboard a U.S. military C-17 transport aircraft. He later confirmed that the visitor was the CIA director and that Putin was aware of the trip.Peskov said Ratcliffe did not meet Putin but came for an \u201cinteragency\u201d meeting and that the Russian president was briefed on the talks. The Kremlin has confirmed that Ratcliffe met Russian intelligence officials during the rare visit.One person who spoke to Politico said the meeting was intended \u201cprimarily to warn Russia against any escalatory action against the Baltic states.\u201dUnder Article 5 of the NATO treaty, an attack on one alliance member is considered an attack on all, obligating members to come to the defense of the country under attack. Russia, however, has for years used methods such as cyberattacks and sabotage to harm other countries and carry out hostile operations on their territory without triggering the clause.In recent weeks, various Russian figures, including former President Dmitry Medvedev, have intensified threats of escalation against \u201cthe West,\u201d including threats against NATO. Medvedev, along with hard-line television host Vladimir Solovyov and other propagandists, frequently justifies such rhetoric by claiming Russia is already \u201cfighting NATO in Ukraine.\u201dThe White House declined to comment and instead referred to remarks President Donald Trump made earlier in an interview with conservative radio host Glenn Beck.Trump described Ratcliffe\u2019s trip as \u201csemi-routine\u201d and shifted the discussion to the war in Ukraine.\u201cSomething may come out of it,\u201d Trump said of the visit. \u201cWe\u2019re working very hard to get that war ended, and frankly, they both want to see it ended at this point.\u201dThe CIA declined to comment. The last known visit to Russia by a CIA director took place in November 2021, before Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. During that trip, then-CIA Director William Burns warned Putin against attacking Ukraine.Meanwhile, Russia and Ukraine continued to strike targets deep behind each other\u2019s front lines.Explosions were heard overnight in the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, while authorities also reported a Russian attack on an \u201cindustrial facility\u201d in the central city of Kryvyi Rih, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy\u2019s hometown.The head of the city\u2019s military administration said Russia used ballistic missiles and that two people were wounded, but provided no further details.Destruction in Russian-occupied Donetsk Smoke rises over Donetsk after the strike Hours earlier, Ukraine carried out a relatively unusual strike, apparently using cruise missiles, on the Russian-occupied city of Donetsk.No Ukrainian official claimed responsibility for the attack, but extensive destruction was documented in the area. Ukrainian Telegram channels reported that the target may have been the headquarters of the Russian military\u2019s 51st Army.The Kremlin-appointed governor of the Donetsk region did not provide details about the target and said only that several civilians had been wounded.Earlier, the Russian newspaper Izvestia reported that 10 people were killed in the unusual strike, but the report was later removed.One possible explanation is that the Ukrainian reports were accurate and Russian authorities did not want to disclose that military forces had been hit.Russian state media, which operate under tight restrictions, reported that a shopping center called Donetsk City had been struck. An Izvestia correspondent, however, reported that the missiles landed \u201cnear\u201d the shopping center building, and images of the destruction did not show the mall itself." ], "output": "readability", "pwd": "/data/archive/1787825244.950728", "schema": "ArchiveResult", "start_ts": "2026-08-29T02:02:14.636840+00:00", "status": "succeeded" } ], "screenshot": [], "singlefile": [], "title": [ { "cmd": [ "curl", "--silent", "--location", "--compressed", "--max-time", "120", "--user-agent", "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/118.0.0.0 Safari/537.36 ArchiveBox/0.7.4 (+https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/) curl/curl 8.14.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu)", "https://www.ynetnews.com/article/rjhvkztwme" ], "cmd_version": "curl 8.14.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu)", "end_ts": "2026-08-29T02:02:14.628679+00:00", "index_texts": null, "output": "CIA chief visits Moscow, warns Russia against attacking NATO and aiding Iran", "pwd": "/data/archive/1787825244.950728", "schema": "ArchiveResult", "start_ts": "2026-08-29T02:02:14.586461+00:00", "status": "succeeded" } ], "wget": [ { "cmd": [ "wget", "--no-verbose", "--adjust-extension", "--convert-links", "--force-directories", "--backup-converted", "--span-hosts", "--no-parent", "-e", "robots=off", "--timeout=120", "--restrict-file-names=windows", "--warc-file=/data/archive/1787825244.950728/warc/1787968909", "--page-requisites", "--user-agent=Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/118.0.0.0 Safari/537.36 ArchiveBox/0.7.4 (+https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/) wget/GNU Wget 1.21.3", "--compression=auto", "https://www.ynetnews.com/article/rjhvkztwme" ], "cmd_version": "GNU Wget 1.21.3", "end_ts": "2026-08-29T02:02:14.573123+00:00", "index_texts": null, "output": "www.ynetnews.com/article/rjhvkztwme.html", "pwd": "/data/archive/1787825244.950728", "schema": "ArchiveResult", "start_ts": "2026-08-29T02:01:49.120516+00:00", "status": "succeeded" } ] }, "icons": null, "is_archived": true, "is_static": false, "latest": { "archive_org": null, "dom": null, "favicon": "favicon.ico", "git": null, "media": null, "pdf": null, "screenshot": null, "singlefile": null, "title": "CIA chief visits Moscow, warns Russia against attacking NATO and aiding Iran", "warc": null, "wget": "www.ynetnews.com/article/rjhvkztwme.html" }, "link_dir": "/data/archive/1787825244.950728", "newest_archive_date": "2026-08-29T02:02:16.753532+00:00", "num_failures": 0, "num_outputs": 6, "oldest_archive_date": "2026-08-29T02:01:46.978327+00:00", "path": "/article/rjhvkztwme", "schema": "Link", "scheme": "https", "snapshot_id": "897a255f-8254-41e9-b48c-2a0cfc4fc9fd", "sources": [ "/data/sources/1787825244-import.txt" ], "tags": ",pool,escalation", "tags_str": "pool,escalation", "timestamp": "1787825244.950728", "title": "CIA chief visits Moscow, warns Russia against attacking NATO and aiding Iran", "updated": "2026-08-29T02:01:46.978102+00:00", "updated_date": "2026-08-29 02:01", "url": "https://www.ynetnews.com/article/rjhvkztwme" }
