The advisers are afraid to tell the Russian autocrat about the trouble, but he began to suspect that he was being deceived.
The United States is convinced that Vladimir Putin's advisers are deliberately not telling him about the extremely bad situation of the Russian army in Ukraine, as well as the real consequences of sanctions on Russia's economy. CNN writes about this with reference to American officials.
“We are convinced that Putin is being misinformed by his advisers about how bad things are with the Russian army, and that the Russian economy is collapsing under the pressure of sanctions. Because his top advisers are afraid to tell him the truth,” an unnamed US official told reporters.
He explained that he drew his conclusions based on declassified data from American intelligence. According to the interlocutor of the publication, there is information in the United States that Putin is beginning to realize that he is being misinformed. This created a rift between him and senior defense officials.
“We have information that Putin felt that he was being deceived towards the Russian army. Now there is a steady tension between him and the Ministry of Defense, because Putin does not trust the leadership of the ministry,” said a US official.
In particular, according to him, Putin did not know that the Russian army “uses and loses conscripts” in Ukraine, which “clearly indicates interruptions in the flow of accurate information to the Russian president.”
