Putin started a war in Ukraine because of the fraud of the FSB - The Washington Post
According to reports exchanged by Russian agents, it can be concluded that their assessments of affairs were in Ukraine, the likelihood of a lightning overthrow of the Ukrainian government and the possibility of establishing a puppet regime in the country. About it reports The Washington Post. According to journalists, before the invasion of Russian informants in Kiev it was advised to collect things and leave the capital for a while, but leave with them the keys to Kiev apartments.
This indicates how much the Kremlin leadership was confident in the success of its blitzkrig, the rapid occupation of Ukraine and the removal of the Zelensky government. The housing of the informants was to be occupied by Russian representatives, with which the Kremlin will plan to manage Ukraine. The FSB either did not understand how rigid the resistance of Ukraine would be, or was not intended to convey a sober assessment to the Russian president.
Despite the data of the polls that testified that a large part of the Ukrainian population is ready to resist the invasion of Russian troops, and that Russian soldiers would not meet as liberators, the FSB fed the Kremlin leadership of the Rainbow estimates that residents of Ukraine would welcome the Russian troops.
"Much was given to the desired in the GRU and the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, but it all started with the FSB," a high -ranking Western intelligence officer said in an interview with WP journalists, adding that they had the feeling that they would meet them with flowers.
Guided by such biased estimates, the FSB has made a plan of large -scale invasion, assuming that the government in Kiev will fall in a few days, Zelensky will kill, seize or will be in exile, which will create a political vacuum, which will be used by the FSB agents. Earlier, Focus reported that experts from the United States demanded to transfer ATACMS missiles as soon as possible.
