US military transport plane lands in Moscow as Kremlin says it has no information
The Boeing Globemaster flew from Latvia to Moscow, while Reuters said it could not verify whether the aircraft carried passengers or cargo.
A US military transport plane landed at Moscow’s Vnukovo airport on Tuesday, while the Kremlin said it had no information about the flight, Reuters reported.
Flight-tracking data showed that the Boeing C-17 Globemaster, carrying US-registered tail number 07-7181, flew directly from Riga, Latvia, and arrived at about 0700 GMT. Reuters was unable to verify whether it carried passengers or cargo.
The aircraft had arrived in Riga on Aug. 23 from Camp Springs airbase near Washington, according to the data. The last direct flight by a US-registered jet from Europe to Russia was in January, when special envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner traveled for talks with President Vladimir Putin about Ukraine.
The flight came as US-Russia discussions on Ukraine have largely stalled amid the war in Iran. The Kremlin said last week it had no information about another Moscow visit by Kushner and Witkoff.
