During his visit to Moscow he tried to dissuade Russia from any plans for an offensive, emphasizing that the United States closely monitors all movements of Russian troops.
During his two-day official visit this week, the US intelligence chief expressed concern and “that Russia is on track to use its gas exports as leverage“, given the expectation that Ukraine and other European countries will fall into an energy crisis due to the approaching winter season.

After meetings in Moscow, where Burns held talks with Russian Security Council Secretary Nikolai Patrushev and Director of Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service Sergei Naryshkin, CIA chief calls on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to voice his concerns on Russia’s behavior and to assure him that the United States is closely monitoring Russia’s activities.
A few days ago, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova denounced as “fake news” publications in the American media alleging that Russia was accumulating troops on the Ukrainian border. She noted that at least three American media outlets – Politico, Washington Post and Foreign Policy – had published “as if on a signal in a real panic attack” that Russia was allegedly moving its troops to the Ukrainian border.
“It wasn’t one fake news, it was a whole fake news campaign in the American media.”, Zaharova was categorical.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov also described allegations of Russian military equipment near the border with Ukraine as “cheap fake news.” He stressed that the movement of Russian military equipment and troops inside the country affects only Moscow.
