The CIA director reportedly called Moscow's spying chief after last week's rebellion in Russia to ensure the Kremlin that the US has played no role in it.
William Burns called the head of Russia's Foreign Intelligence Service SVR this week, the New York Times and Wall Street Journal reported.
According to foreign media, it was the highest-level contact between the two governments since the head of the Russian group Wagner led an armed uprising, which he later cancelled after his fighters approached Moscow.
On Monday, US President Joe Biden said the brief uprising was part of a war within the Russian and US system, and its allies were not involved.
Russian mercenaries grew up most of the way to Moscow before their leader, Yevgeny Pigozin, cancelled progress and ordered them to return to “smangur of bloodshed”.
After the dramatic event, Vladimir Putin has made a series of speeches this week and has thanked the Russian Army for stopping the outbreak of a <x0-> civil war” in the country.
