Secret CIA mission in Moscow: NATO expert warns of new spheres-of-influence deal

Dr Aleksander Olech, a NATO associate, told Gazeta Wyborcza that a secret meeting between US and Russian intelligence chiefs in Moscow marks a shift to an operational and partly military level, sidestepping European allies. He believes Washington and Moscow have begun covertly redrawing spheres of influence. Europe's access to information about the talks, he warned, will be severely limited.
