The Kremlin assures that Putin does not receive “distorted information” about the course of the Russian invasion of Ukraine

Dec. 24 () –

Kremlin spokesman Dimitri Peskov has assured that Russian President Vladimir Putin does not receive “distorted information” about the course of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, arguing that the president knows first-hand the successes and failures on the front. .

“The president (Vladimir Putin), as before, receives information from different sources. Any accusation that he receives distorted information does not correspond to reality,” said the spokesman for the Russian Executive, citing a story from ‘The Wall Street Journal’ , as collected by the TASS agency.

According to the aforementioned outlet, Putin receives a written summary of the progress of the war in Ukraine every morning, with the information provided, according to the newspaper’s sources, “carefully calibrated to highlight successes and minimize failures.”

The information would be distorted when specialists of the Federal Security Service process the data coming from the front, after which they redirect it to the experts of the Security Council of the Russian Federation.

These, in turn, pass the information on to the Secretary of the Security Council, Nikolai Patrushev, who provides it to the Russian leader. ‘The Wall Street Journal’ states that, as a result, the data is often out of date “by a few days”.
