U.S. Military Transport Plane Lands in Moscow Amid Ongoing Tensions
A U.S. military transport plane, likely a Boeing C-17 Globemaster III, landed at Moscow's Vnukovo Airport on Tuesday, arriving from Riga, Latvia. The Kremlin stated it had no information about the aircraft's arrival. This marks the first direct U.S. military flight to Russia from Europe since January, when special envoys visited Moscow for Ukraine-related talks. Details about the plane's cargo or passengers remain unconfirmed amid ongoing tensions between Washington and Moscow over the Ukraine conflict.
