There is increasing evidence that Russian President Vladimir Putin is being kept in the dark about the progress of his so called "Special Military Operation" and the effect of global sanctions by his inner sanctum of Generals and advisors.
The White House says it has credible intelligence that tensions are increasing between the President and Russia´s military hierarchy while the head of the UK´s spy agency GCHQ, Sir Jeremy Fleming said President Putin's advisers are not telling him the truth about the situation on the ground.
The spook chief went on to say that Russia had "massively misjudged" the situation in a speech he gave in Australia overnight.

British intelligence says Russian troops in Ukraine are demoralised, short of equipment and refusing to carry out orders.
