Ratcliffe meets Naryszkin in Moscow as all sides eye ceasefire talks

CIA Director John Ratcliffe met Russian intelligence chief Sergei Naryshkin in Moscow. Commentators note that all parties — the US bogged down in Iran, Russia without a decisive outcome in Ukraine, and Zelensky bracing for another harsh winter — have an interest in resuming ceasefire talks. Ratcliffe is seen as the most suitable figure to lead such negotiations.
