Footage: CIA Chief in a High-Level Backchannel Visit to Moscow Alongside Vatican Officials

The CIA personnel in Moscow alongside Vatican officials is raising concerns.


What’s brewing behind the scenes? Something significant may be unfolding as CIA Director John Ratcliffe made a rare, unannounced visit to Moscow on August 25, 2026, meeting with Russian intelligence counterparts at Vnukovo Airport. The secretive trip—which bypassed a meeting with Vladimir Putin—prompted Washington to ask Ukraine for a brief localized halt on regional drone strikes

CIA Director John Ratcliffe of the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) travelled to Moscow for unannounced talks, the BBC's US news partner CBS has reported.

He made a rare, unannounced visit to Moscow on August 25, 2026, meeting with Russian intelligence counterparts at Vnukovo Airport.

Neither Washington or Moscow have confirmed the nature of the visit or who he was due to meet.

According to a report, the secretive trip—which bypassed a meeting with Vladimir Putin—prompted Washington to ask Ukraine for a brief localized halt on regional drone strikes.

A U.S. military aircraft transported the CIA delegation to Moscow's Vnukovo airport on Tuesday, August 25, before departing later that day.

Ratcliffe held discussions with Russian security and intelligence officials, marking a rare high-level physical presence of a U.S. spy chief in the Russian capital.

U.S. officials requested that Ukraine temporarily suspend air strikes targeting Moscow, St. Petersburg, and select northern zones while the delegation was in transit.


Flight tracking data confirmed a large US military aircraft travelled to Russia from the US via Latvia on Tuesday. It departed later on Tuesday.

Footage posted on social media showed the C-17 transport plane approaching Moscow's Vnukovo international airport.

It departed Riga airport at 05:50 GMT and appeared to have landed in the Russian capital at around 07:04 GMT, according to data from FlightRadar24. It returned to Riga shortly before 17:00 GMT.

Hundeyin exposes Omoyele Sowore , says He works for same people Tinubu works for

 International Award Winning Investigative Journalist David Hundeyin exposes Omoyele Sowore and those he's working for.

Hundeyin said: "I've already said everything I have to say about him. He works for the same people Tinubu works for."

"Literally all you have to do to confirm this for yourself is pull up the Wikipedia page of Sahara Reporters and see who funds it (Omidyar Network, Ford Foundation, MacArthur Foundation) - all U.S. Intelligence front organisations."

"Just because he wears a beret and shouts #RevolutionNow, some people think that in and of itself must put him against the status quo. Meanwhile the oldest trick in the western foreign intelligence book is to infiltrate and subvert revolutionary spaces using their funded Trojan horses.

They've literally gone as far as embedding their undercover agents into organisations they want to infiltrate and getting them to even marry members of these organisations and raise kids with them. Compared to that level of subversive effort, how hard is it to fund one yellow beret-wearing numpty in West Africa to jump around and destroy the actual revolutionary movement in Nigeria by centring himself as the "revolution," fixing dates and venues for protests (signposting them for the puppet government), and gathering intelligence for them about people who can actually change anything?

Yele Sowore is the biggest fucking plant in West Africa, and I don't understand how this could be more obvious. The dude is literally funded by U.S. Foreign Intelligence. It's in your face! Hundeyin added.

Bola Ahmed Tinubu is a CIA agent, who do you think Omoyele Sowore is actually working for?

Do you believe David Hundeyin?
