Aug ⁠28 (Reuters) - Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Friday ⁠that the United States had given Kyiv ‌information about a number of meetings in Moscow over the last few days.

"Today we received information from the American side ​about the meetings in Moscow that ⁠took place these days. ⁠There were a number of meetings there," Zelenskiy said ⁠on ‌Telegram, without going into detail on who was at the meetings.

"I thank them ⁠for the information and for the necessary ​tone of the ‌conversation with Russia," Zelenskiy added, again without ⁠elaborating.

The Wall ​Street Journal reported on Wednesday that CIA Director John Ratcliffe had travelled to Moscow to warn Russia off ⁠any attack on a NATO member.

The ​Kremlin dismissed the report, while U.S. President Donald Trump said Russian President Vladimir Putin would not attack ⁠a NATO country, playing down media reports on Ratcliffe's trip.

Two sources told Reuters that Ratcliffe had raised the possibility of a Russian operation against a ​NATO member during the meeting, although ⁠it was unclear whether that was the primary ​purpose of the trip. The ‌talks also covered Russia's support ​for Iran, one source told Reuters.
