Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy says he met in Kyiv with U.S. Central Intelligence Agency Director William Burns, who is in the region to discuss the war in Ukraine. "We had a meeting with him.... [we] talked about all the issues that are important to Ukraine," Zelenskiy told a televised news conference, saying the two men had discussed what he called Russia's nuclear threat. Burns visited Kyiv on November 15 as Russia attacked the city with missiles. The CIA head spent time in a bomb shelter before the two men met, Zelenskiy said. Burns met President Vladimir Putin's spy chief in Turkey the day before for the first known high-level, face-to-face U.S.-Russian contact since the invasion of Ukraine began.
