Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky met with CIA Director John Ratcliffe at Shannon Airport in Ireland, according to Reuters, citing two sources familiar with the situation. One source said the meeting took place on Monday, September 21, while another reported the two spoke during a refueling stop of their aircraft, without specifying the date. Both sources declined to disclose details of the conversation. The meeting follows Ratcliffe's secret visit to Moscow on August 25, when the US reportedly asked Ukraine to refrain from strikes on Russian cities. President Donald Trump later called that visit "semi-routine" and denied it was linked to threats against Britain.
