  "summary": "A German outlet, citing a high-ranking diplomat, claimed that CIA Director John Ratcliffe’s August visit to Moscow was intended to warn Russia of a Soviet-style collapse if it continues the war in Ukraine. While there are few signs that Moscow is ready to de-escalate, historical data suggest that the Russian economy has not reached the levels seen in the final days of the USSR – not yet, at least.",
