CIA Director John Ratcliffe's visit to Moscow took place with unusual secrecy by the US administration. With no official statement, speculation focuses on a prisoner swap, Iran policy, or Ukraine peace.
Meanwhile, as the European Union sets its 7-year budget, Baltic countries like Latvia and Lithuania have begun demanding large defense funds from Brussels citing the Russian threat. Latvia is specifically asking for a 7 billion euro package.
This demand mimics the model of Ukraine receiving aid from the EU; however, the Baltic states are not under direct occupation. The near-total severing of trade with Russia and sharp rises in energy prices are severely straining these countries' economies.
