Putin Turns His Back On Top Intelligence Officials

As the Russian military continues to get itself bogged down in the fight for Ukraine, trouble is brewing in Moscow as Vladimir Putin is at odds with his spy and defense agencies, detaining at least two top intelligence officials via house arrest. The infighting apparently broke out between Russia’s Federal Security Service and the Ministry of Defense, the two key departments that planned the invasion of Ukraine along with Vladimir Putin.

"A top commander of Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) intelligence agency has been placed under house arrest amid upheaval and infighting among officials as President Vladimir Putin fumes over the botched Ukraine invasion, The Wall Street Journal reported Saturday.

Russian commander Col. Gen. Sergei Beseda was in charge of the FSB’s Ukraine operation, according to the Journal, citing a U.S. official.

The unidentified American official also told the newspaper that “bickering had broken out” between the FSB and the Russian Ministry of Defense, which were the key government agencies planning the invasion.

Citing Russian news sources, The New York Times reported that a second FSB official was also under house arrest.

Russia’s military operation has not gone nearly as well as planned. CIA Director William Burns told Congress earlier this month that Putin had planned to seize the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv within two days. Yet the city continues to fend off Russian forces nearly a month after the invasion began. As many as five Russian generals have been killed in the fighting, according to Ukraine.

That’s bad news for officials surrounding Putin, observers warn."
