"The sides discussed Russian-American relations," the Russian Security Council said in an oh-so-very-helpful press statement. scrf.gov.ru/news/allnews/3…

and here's a confirmation/ statement from @USEmbRu. (appears Burns is not traveling alone to Russia...)

@KDonfried

Hard to tell exactly whom Burns is accompanied by but Ambassador Sullivan is present; as is @KDonfried @StateEUR. (Video by @tass_agency)

US prosecutors are seeking a 17-year prison sentence for Peter Debbins, the former US Army Green Beret who's pleaded guilty to divulging military secrets to Russia. Debbins “thought that Russia needed to be built up and that America needed to be ‘cut down to size.’”

According to U.S. prosecutors: "Debbins was all-in on the espionage conspiracy before his military career
even began. He signed a statement attesting that he wanted to 'serve Russia' months prior to
starting his active-duty service."

Debbins' defense lawyers, meanwhile, are asking the court for leniency in sentencing. They're also making some unusually (?) prosaic arguments in their memo to the court.
