Накануне истечения срока для исполнения закона о санкциях Вашингтон одновременно посетили главы всех трех российских разведслужб: СВР, ГРУ и ФСБ. Визит оставался бы в секрете, если бы о нем не сообщили в российских СМИ. Нарышкин, Коробов и Бортников (первые два из которых находятся под американскими санкциями, а последний - под санкциями ЕС и Канады) встречались с руководителями американской разведки, но неизвестно, о чем конкретно шла речь. Неизвестно также, кто выдал разрешение Нарышкину и Коробову на посещение США в обход санкций.
Pompeo met with Sergey Naryshkin, the head of Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service or SVR, and Alexander Bortnikov, who runs the FSB, which is the main successor to the Soviet-era security service the KGB.
The head of Russia’s military intelligence, the GRU, also came to Washington, though it is not clear he met with Pompeo.
A senior U.S. intelligence official based in Moscow was also called back to Washington for the meeting with the CIA chief, said a person familiar with the events, who, like others, spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the sensitive meeting.

Говоря о российских спецслужбах, можно упомянуть новую информацию о печально известной Натальи Весельницкой. Она оказалась замешена в попытке вербовки швейцарского полицейского.
The reports, which are based on Swiss court papers, describe how K. was lured to Moscow during a call from Karapetyan before Christmas 2016. He was told not to go by his boss, ostensibly because he was working too much overtime, but he made the trip anyway, using his diplomatic passport to fly to the Russian capital. There, he was put up in a luxury hotel and asked to attend an unexpected meeting with Veselnitskaya.
In the case against K.—who had been entrusted with investigating the Swiss financial arrangements of the Russian mafia and oligarchs for decades—it emerged that he had previously met Karapetyan in Geneva and Zurich, as well as Russia “without the knowledge of his superiors.”

До конца неизвестно, однако, было ли это самодеятельностью прокуратуры (связанного с Весельницкой генпрокурора Чайки) или операцией органов разведки.
