Глава́ ЦРУ предложи́л встре́чу Тра́мпа, Пу́тина и Зеле́нского

25 а́вгуста дире́ктор ЦРУ Джон Рэ́тклифф прилете́л в Москву́. Он провёл разгово́ры с гла́вами СВР и ФСБ. По слова́м Кремля́, с президе́нтом Влади́миром Пу́тиным он не встреча́лся.

Как сообщи́л Axios 29 а́вгуста, Рэ́тклифф предложи́л встре́чу Дональда Тра́мпа, Пу́тина и Володими́ра Зеле́нского. Источники Axios сказа́ли, что США уже́ рассказа́ли об э́той иде́е Украи́не.

Та́кая встре́ча могла́ бы помо́чь верну́ть перегово́ры о конце́ войны́. Но э́то пока́ то́лько иде́я. По да́нным Axios, Пу́тин ра́ньше отка́зывался от та́кого фо́рмата. Росси́я начала́ полномасшта́бную войну́ про́тив Украи́ны в феврале́ 2022 го́да и продолжа́ет её.

CIA Director Floated a Trump-Putin-Zelenskyy Meeting

On August 25, CIA Director John Ratcliffe arrived in Moscow. He held talks with the heads of the SVR and FSB. According to the Kremlin, he did not meet President Vladimir Putin.

Axios reported on August 29 that Ratcliffe proposed a meeting of Donald Trump, Putin, and Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Axios sources said that the United States had already told Ukraine about the idea.

Such a meeting could help restart talks on ending the war. But for now, it is only an idea. According to Axios, Putin had previously rejected this format. Russia began its full-scale war against Ukraine in February 2022 and continues it.
