( CIA) William Burns to Moscow to warn Russia in Ukraine. This is the purpose of his trip, cited by CNN, citing sources.
According to them, Biden sent Burns to Moscow to warn the Kremlin that Washington is closely monitoring the increase in the number of troops near the border with Ukraine. Also, the CIA director had to try to determine what motivates Russia's actions.
In addition, according to the TV channel, after a trip to Russia, Burns spoke by phone with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in order to “moderate the tension” between Kiev and Moscow .
Trip
The fact that Burns flew to Moscow on behalf of the American leader became known on November 2. It was noted that the purpose of the visit is to hold a series of meetings with representatives of the Russian authorities and discuss issues of US-Russian relations.
The US Embassy in Moscow announced that these meetings are scheduled for November 2-3. So, already on the first day of the trip, Burns met with the Secretary of the Security Council (SB) of Russia Nikolai Patrushev. The press service of the Security Council staff reported that politicians discussed issues related to relations between Moscow and Washington, without giving other details of the talks.
Alan Kafruni, professor of international relations at the American College of Hamilton, said in a comment to Lenta.ru that during the talks Burns and Patrushev discussed arms control and cybersecurity.
The political scientist called the topic of countering cybercrimes of particular concern in Washington … In his opinion, the American side will need clear answers on Moscow's position on this issue in order to continue cooperation. The scientist suggested that the visit of the head of the CIA to Russia could create conditions for the second meeting of Joe Biden and Vladimir Putin.
Meeting in India
In early September, the media reported that Patrushev and Burns allegedly met in Delhi to discuss the situation in Afghanistan. However, then the press secretary of the department's apparatus, Yevgeny Anoshin, denied this information and said that Patrushev's plans did not include a meeting with the head of the CIA.
According to the representative of the Security Council, Patrushev in New Delhi held “meetings with the heads of a number of Indian departments and with the leadership of the republic.” At the same time, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov left without comment on the question of a possible meeting between Patrushev and the CIA director.
Who is Burns?
In the past, the CIA director was the American ambassador to Moscow. He admitted that he turned gray because of Russia, and also called on the American authorities not to ignore the threat that “comes from Russian President Vladimir Putin.”
The official representative of the head of state, Dmitry Peskov, later replied that he was “not strong in gerontology,” so he would prefer to refrain from making any comments. He also noted that Burns skillfully ran the embassy and understood Russia well.
American political scientist Bruce Marks called Burns the best candidate for improving relations between the United States and Russia, since he knows our country well. He also noted that the trip to Moscow of the director of the department is not part of his usual duties.
I know Will Burns, he was the US ambassador to Russia ten years ago, and I think that the US is trying to use his knowledge about Russia, its connections, in order to overcome the difficulties in relations that we have now.

On October 30, The Washington Post wrote about an alleged increase in the presence of Russian troops near Ukraine. According to the newspaper, “unusual movements of equipment and military” in the west of Russia were recorded after the completion of the large-scale exercises “West-2021”.
After that, the spokesman for the US Department of Defense John Kirby said that the Pentagon is monitoring the situation on the border of Ukraine and Russia. At the same time, he refused to explain what kind of “unusual” behavior we are talking about.
Commenting on information from US departments about the “unusual activity” of the Russian Armed Forces on the border with Ukraine, the Russian Embassy in Washington expressed bewilderment that “press the services of the State Department and the Pentagon are concerned about the movement of the RF Armed Forces on their own territory, within the Russian borders. ”
