WASHINGTON: Russian President Vladimir Putin was misled by advisers who were too scared to tell him how poorly the war in Ukraine is going and how damaging Western sanctions have been, White House and European officials said on Wednesday (Mar 30).

Russia's Feb 24 invasion of its southern neighbour has been halted on many fronts by stiff resistance from Ukrainian forces who have recaptured territory even as civilians are trapped in besieged cities.
 
“We have information that Putin felt misled by the Russian military, which has resulted in persistent tension between Putin and his military leadership,” Kate Bedingfield, White House communications director, told reporters during a press briefing.

“We believe that Putin is being misinformed by his advisers about how badly the Russian military is performing and how the Russian economy is being crippled by sanctions because his senior advisors are too afraid to tell him the truth,” she said.

This is interesting!  First of all, unless Putin has become as senile as Biden, his military wouldn't be able to lie about it's incompetence to him.  He has too many contacts in the former KGB or whatever its called now.  Virtually every newspaper I saw from around the world had the same headline.  They all have held Putin not responsible for the poor showing of the Russian military.  Would our media hold Biden accountable for the same thing?  No way!  Trump, yes.   Biden, no.  Why is the world media suddenly defending Putin?
