This is a very bad sign for Moscow.
Trump considers himself a friend of Putin’s and therefore decided to tell him the truth about the situation on the front lines and the state of the economy; he relayed the information through Ratcliffe because intelligence agencies have the most information, suggested journalist Ivan Yakovina.
That is precisely why the CIA director flew to Moscow. A political analyst discussed the purpose of Ratcliffe’s visit to Moscow on his YouTube channel.
“I said just yesterday in my video that I don’t really believe in the Baltic version, because they were discussing a possible Russian invasion of the Baltic states there, and because this version was being promoted so aggressively everywhere, and when something closely related to intelligence is being heavily hyped, it usually means that, no, it’s not that—it’s something else. It doesn’t work that way. At the same time, I’m willing to believe that Trump, out of friendship, decided to tell his friend Vladimir how things really stand with him, Vladimir. “That seems quite plausible, given Trump’s good personal relationship with Putin,” the journalist said, offering his own take on what happened.
At the same time, Yakovina noted: “If you think about it, the CIA knows better than anyone else about the situation on the front lines, as well as the current and future capabilities of both the Ukrainian and Russian armies. I admit that Trump might, in a naive, friendly way, advise Putin not to attempt mobilization and escalation, since Russia has no chance of winning this war anyway. I think that for Moscow, a visit like this—with a message like this from an envoy like this—is very bad. It’s really, really bad.”
