Russia-Ukraine War: Russian President Vladimir Putin "massively misjudged" the invasion, the director of Britain's intelligence agency GCHQ Jeremy Fleming said.
Russian President Vladimir Putin's advisors fear telling him the truth about his "failing" Ukraine war strategy, the head of Britain's top communications spying agency said Thursday.
Putin had "massively misjudged" the invasion, the director of Britain's intelligence agency GCHQ Jeremy Fleming said in a prepared speech to the Australian National University in Canberra.
His remarks, released in advance, echoed US intelligence issued by the White House the previous day indicating Putin was being "misinformed" by his advisors about the progress of the Russian operation.
Western intelligence sources have been keen to play up Russia's failures in the war and highlight divisions within Putin's inner circle.
