After the rumors of malfunctions in communication systems and weapons, news has now arrived from the USA that the Russian President Wladimir Putin he would be misinformed by his advisers. The reason? The Kremlin chief’s followers would shy away from informing him about the true course of the conflict in Ukraine.
Spreading that message would be one officer the American government, which told CNN that Putin was not properly briefed by his entourage. “He is misinformed by his people about the course of the war in Ukraine,” the official told US television. Russian military leaders ‘are afraid to tell Putin how badly the armed forces in Moscow are doing’. Not only. The same source tells CNN that there are now constant tensions between the President of the Russian Federation and the Defense Ministry precisely because Putin “does not trust military leaders.” This, the official said, would lead to “an ongoing tension between Putin and the Defense Ministry, caused by Putin’s distrust of his leadership.”
To back up his claims, the official told CNN the Kremlin chief had no idea that the Russian military “deployed and lost recruits in combat, indicating a clear lack of accurate information flow.”
In short, word is spreading from the United States that Putin’s supporters would not tell the story truth to their President, both in terms of the confrontation in Ukraine and the economic impact of this conflict on the Russian economy. “We believe that Putin is receiving false information from his advisers about how badly the army operation is going and how the sanctions are crippling the Russian economy,” the US official told CNN with conviction. “The councilors are too scared to tell him the truth,” he concludes.
