00:00US President Donald Trump says he does not expect Russia to attack NATO territory
00:05and has dismissed reports that the CIA warned Moscow against such a move.
00:10His comments follow a Wall Street Journal report that CIA Director John Radcliffe
00:14travelled to Moscow to deliver the warning directly to Russian officials.
00:29The Kremlin also dismissed the possibility of an attack on a NATO member state
00:33with his Foreign Intelligence Chief, saying that the meeting focused on unspecified sensitive issues.
00:38However, two sources familiar with the meeting told Reuters that Radcliffe had discussed
00:43the possibility of a Russian operation targeting NATO territory.
00:47European and US intelligence agencies have long monitored suspected Russian sabotage
00:52and other grey zone operations aimed at disrupting Europe,
00:56weakening NATO unity and reducing support for Ukraine.
01:00More recently, Western officials have been tracking possible Russian plots
01:04involving Ukrainian drones and potential false flag attacks.
