WASHINGTON (77 WABC) — The White House says U.S. intelligence officials have determined that Russian President Vladimir Putin is being misinformed by advisers about his military’s poor performance in Ukraine.
The intelligence finding indicates that Putin is aware of the situation on information coming to him and there is now persistent tension between him and senior Russian military officials. White House communications director Kate Bedingfield says the intelligence indicates Putin’s advisers are too afraid to tell him the truth.
