U.S. intelligence agencies have partially removed a report stating that Vladimir Putin’s entourage does not provide him with accurate and complete information about what is happening in Ukraine.
The White House believes that Vladimir Putin has no real information about Russia’s failures in Ukraine. “We have information that Putin feels misled by the Russian military, resulting in ongoing tension between Putin and the military leadership,” White House communications director Kate Bedingfield said. Of course, the Kremlin denies this.
Big mistake
“We believe that Putin was misinformed by his advisers about how effective Russia’s military is and how much the sanctions have affected Russia’s economy, all because his senior advisers are too afraid to say to him the truth, “Bedingfield said.
According to him, the Joe Biden administration decided to declassify this information to show what a strategic mistake the war in Ukraine was for Russia.
Kate Bedingfield added that the sources of this information or the methods by which intelligence obtained this information could not be disclosed.
“Putin’s war was a strategic mistake that left Russia weakened in the long run and increasingly isolated on the world stage,” he stressed.
A similar opinion was expressed by the head of British electronic intelligence GCHQ, Jeremy Fleming. He said that Russian President Vladimir Putin, before the attack on Ukraine, had not adequately assessed the strength of his army and the enemy, and now he was afraid to report on the real state of affairs.
“Putin was very wrong in assessing the situation. We think Putin’s advisers are now afraid to tell him the truth,” Fleming said.
RF response
Press Secretary to the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov said the words of American officials “cause our concern.”
“It turns out that neither the State Department nor the Pentagon have real information about what’s going on in the Kremlin. And they just don’t understand what’s going on in the Kremlin, they don’t understand President Putin, they don’t understand the mechanism of action of decision, they do not understand the style of our work.It is not only unfortunate, but it causes concern.Because such a complete misunderstanding only leads to wrong decisions, to reckless decisions that there are dire consequences, ”a Kremlin spokesman said in an interview with reporters.
Inside from the Kremlin
According to Meduza, Russia has finally realized that it will not work to take Kyiv from the Russian army. It is precisely the failures on the front five Meduza sources simultaneously that explain the softening of Russia’s position during the negotiations.
In addition, Meduza’s interlocutors claimed that at the end of March, government officials presented Putin’s calculations about the state of Russia’s economy. According to these documents, according to one of the sources, “somehow the country will not be able to live normally under such sanctions.”
At the same time, three sources close to the Kremlin emphasize that Putin has not yet made a final decision on what to do next.
At the same time, the presidential administration itself now fears that “a possible ceasefire in Ukraine will hit Putin’s rating.”
“Citizens have become too hot of propaganda. Let’s say a decision was made to stop the territory of Donbass. And then what about the” Nazis “? Are we no longer fighting them? This word has been hammered into the people so I can’t imagine how one can stop Donbass without losing the power rating, ”said one of the political technologists working with the Kremlin.
