This new trove of classified US documents reveals a divide between Russia's main domestic intelligence agency, the FSB, and the country's defense ministry, with the former accusing the latter 'of obfuscating Russian casualties in Ukraine.'
This new trove of classified documents, 27 pages in total, reveals a divide between Russia's main domestic intelligence agency, the Federal Security Service , and the country's defense ministry, with the former accusing the latter"of obfuscating Russian casualties in Ukraine." This highlights"the continuing reluctance of military officials to convey bad news up the chain of command," the documents alleged, according to the New York Times.
“I don’t know what these reports are based on, but I’m doubting their reliability and the author’s understanding of the essence of what is happening inside Russia," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told CNN. The new batch of documents also purportedly reveals that Russian President Vladimir Putin attempted to personally resolve the public dispute between Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin and Shoigu on Feb. 22, which Peskov said he knows"nothing about."
At the time, Prigozhin, whose forces were leading the fighting in Bakhmut, accused the ministry of"treason" for intentionally withholding necessary aid and resources from them. Prigozhin, previously known as"Putin's chef" for his catering business that garnered government contracts, grew in prominence as Russia's troops floundered in Ukraine, though his troops have since struggled to capture Bakhmut, a relatively insignificant town in eastern Ukraine, for months.
