Tension between FSB and Putin

Andrei Soldatov, of the research site Agentura, said Sergei Besenta, the head of the Fifth Service – FSB’s foreign intelligence service – and his deputy had been taken into custody. The move was a clear sign that Putin was deeply concerned about the FSB’s role in the attack on Ukraine, Western officials said. “Both men played an important role in intelligence operations against Ukraine for several years and probably played an important role in planning the invasion,” one said. “There could be significant changes at higher levels in the FSB.” read more

Russian analyst Alexey Muraviev is also convinced that the Russian president is facing a coup by the top leaders of the army and intelligence services. Muraviev told Sky News Australia that an attempt to oust Putin could be imminent because “I think there have been tensions between Russia and the intelligence community and Russian President Vladimir Putin.” “Clearly, there was a clear mistake made by the crisis and it was probably led by Putin himself to the situation in Ukraine.” Russian analyst Alexey Muraviev “I think this kind of false narration was presented to them by the Commander-in-Chief, and when he retaliated when the Russians began to take heavy casualties, Putin began to silently accuse the security services,” he continued. “I do not think it went very well because it comes from the security device.” “Regarding the initial planning and the initial phase of the invasion, where the Russian army of course assumes that they are going there as liberators and not as invaders,” he explained. As City AM approached, no one in the Kremlin was available for comment. read more
