US CIA Director John Ratcliffe travelled to Russia to attended meetings in Moscow on Tuesday, US media outlets reported citing unnamed sources.
CBS News and Axios both reported the visit by President Donald Trump's former director of national intelligence who now runs the nation's spy agency.
The outlets did not say who Ratcliffe was meeting with or what the talks are expected to cover.
CBS News said it was Ratcliffe's first known visit to Russia as CIA chief.
There was no immediate comment from the CIA or the White House. Data from Flightradar earlier showed a US military C-17 traveling from the US to Latvia and then Moscow.
Ratcliffe's reported visit comes as US-brokered talks aimed at ending Russia's invasion of Ukraine have stalled. But Moscow earlier this month freed a former US Marine detained since 2022 amid concerns about his health.
