The head of the US Central Intelligence Agency has travelled to Moscow for secret, unnannounced talks, according to multiple sources in the United States
John Ratcliffe is understood to have arrived in the Russian capital. Neither Washington or Moscow have confirmed the nature of the visit or who he was due to meet.
In-person talks between high-level American and Russian officials are rare.
Flight tracking data confirmed a large US military aircraft travelled to Russia from the US via Latvia. 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.
Footage on social media also purported to show a diplomatic motorcade travelling through Moscow.
Ahead of the trip, the US told Ukraine that a senior delegation would be travelling to Moscow and asked Kyiv to suspend strikes until they had left, a senior Ukrainian official said.
