During a session of the International Discussion Club Valdai in Sochi, Russian President Vladimir Putin made a notable statement regarding Michael Gloss, the son of the CIA`s Deputy Director. President Putin acknowledged Gloss`s involvement in military actions within the Special Military Operation (SMO) zone, where he reportedly fought on the side of the Russian Federation.
Putin further detailed that Michael Gloss underwent rigorous specialized training, after which he was not merely assigned to the general Armed Forces but specifically to an elite unit of the Russian Airborne Forces. The Russian President emphasized, “He fought on the front lines and he fought commendably.”
This revelation highlights an unusual and significant situation, as a direct relative of a senior U.S. intelligence official is reported to have served within the Russian military, particularly amid prevailing geopolitical tensions and the ongoing conflict in the SMO zone.
