The Kremlin has rejected reports by Western intelligence agencies that Russian security services are not being honest about the situation in Ukraine with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
“It shows that neither the U.S. State Department nor the Pentagon have any real information on what is happening in the Kremlin,” Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said on Thursday.
“They just do not understand what is happening in the Kremlin.
“ They do not understand President Putin.
“They do not understand the mechanism of our decisions.
“They do not understand our style of work,” Peskov said.
He added that is not only a shame but a source of concern for the Russians.
“Such a complete misunderstanding can only lead to poor decisions, to careless decisions, that can have terrible consequences.”
Several Western intelligence agencies have reported that Putin is being fed bad information about the war in Ukraine.
Jeremy Fleming, the director of GCHQ, Britain’s intelligence agency, said that Putin’s advisers were scared to tell the truth.
John Kirby, spokesperson for the U.S. defence department, said that it was cause for concern if Putin was being informed badly or not at all.
