Russian troops have reportedly begun withdrawing from Chernobyl to head towards Belarus

US intel claims Putin ‘misled’ by Russian military after Ukraine setbacks

Vladimir Putin’s advisers are “afraid to tell him the truth” about his stalling invasion of Ukraine, the head of UK’s GCHQ spy agency is to say.

In a rare public address during a visit to Australia, Sir Jeremy Fleming is expected to say that the Russian president has made a “strategic miscalculation” in launching the invasion.

He will say: “We’ve seen Russian soldiers – short of weapons and morale – refusing to carry out orders, sabotaging their own equipment and even accidentally shooting down their own aircraft. And even though we believe Putin’s advisers are afraid to tell him the truth, what’s going on and the extent of these misjudgments must be crystal clear to the regime.”

Meanwhile, Russia’s troops have reportedly begun withdrawing from the Chernobyl nuclear site in Ukraine to head towards Belarus.

A US official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said some Russian troops were leaving from near the Chernobyl power station, but that it was not clear if the troops leaving were departing the exclusion zone around the plant or the surrounding towns.

Ukraine invasion has become Putin’s personal war – UK spy chief

The Russian invasion of Ukraine has become Vladimir Putin’s personal war, UK intelligence chief Jeremy Fleming said in a key address, adding that the cost of this is being paid by people in both countries.

“It all adds up to the strategic miscalculation that our leaders warned Putin it would be. It’s become his personal war, with the cost being paid by innocent people in Ukraine and increasingly, by ordinary Russians too,” Mr Fleming said in his address.

He added that Mr Putin has brought upon himself exactly what he was trying to avoid.

“The great irony is, of course, that through his actions, Putin has brought upon himself exactly what he was trying to avoid – a Ukraine with a renewed sense of nationhood, a Nato that is more united than ever, and a global coalition of nations that condemn his actions,” he said.

Putin’s Plan B has more barbarity, says UK spy chief

Jeremy Fleming on Thursday delivered a rare address on global security in Canberra and said the plan scripted by Russian president Vladimir Putin is failing and his next move will be more barbaric.

“Believe it or not, it’s only 36 days since Vladimir Putin launched an unprovoked and premeditated attack on Ukraine. It’s been shocking in every sense of the word. But it wasn’t surprising. We’ve seen this strategy before. We saw the intelligence picture building,” the UK spy chief said.

“And we’re now seeing Putin trying to follow through on his plan. But it is failing. And his Plan B has been more barbarity against civilians and cities,” he said.

Stating that Mr Putin “massively misjudged the situation”, the GCHQ director said, “It’s clear he misjudged the resistance of the Ukrainian people. He underestimated the strength of the coalition his actions would galvanise. He under-played the economic consequences of the sanctions regime.”

“He over-estimated the abilities of his military to secure a rapid victory. We’ve seen Russian soldiers – short of weapons and morale – refusing to carry out orders, sabotaging their own equipment and even accidentally shooting down their own aircraft,” Mr Fleming said in his address.

Russian troops ‘walking away’ from Chernobyl

Russia’s troops have begun withdrawing from Ukraine’s Chernobyl nuclear site in Ukraine as Vladimir Putin’s force repositions, according to reports.

A US official told AFP news agency Russian soldiers were “walking away from the Chernobyl facility and moving into Belarus”.

“We think that they are leaving, I can’t tell you that they’re all gone,” they added.

UK’s intelligence agency says Putin “massively misjudged” Ukraine

Britain’s spy chief, Sir Jeremy Fleming, will use a rare public speech in Australia on Thursday to outline the ways demoralized Russian soldiers are performing – from shooting down their own aircraft and sabotaging their own equipment to refusing to carry out orders.

Pre-released text of his remarks released to British media Sky News and The Guardian claim Russia’s cyber attackers are “looking for targets” beyond Ukraine in the countries that oppose Putin’s invasion.

He is expected to add that mercenaries from the Wagner private military group are preparing to send larger numbers of personnel to fight in Ukraine, which Putin would likely use as “cannon fodder” to limit military losses.

“We’ve seen Russian soldiers – short of weapons and morale – refusing to carry out orders, sabotaging their own equipment, and even accidentally shooting down their own aircraft,” his comments say.

“And even though we believe Putin’s advisers are afraid to tell him the truth, what’s going on and the extent of these misjudgments must be crystal clear to the regime,” the comments continue.

Watch: US intel claims Putin feels ‘misled’ by Russian military after Ukraine setbacks

White House communications director Kate Bedingfield said the administration has “information” on the split between Putin and his advisers but did not present the underlying evidence of the claim.

“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 advisers are too afraid to tell him the truth,” she said at the White House’s daily briefing.

“So it is increasingly clear that Putin’s war has been a strategic blunder, that has left Russia weaker over the long term, and increasingly isolated on the world stage.”

Ukrainian negotiator David Arakhamia said in an online post that Ukraine had proposed the countries’ two leaders should meet.

But Russia responded by saying more work needed to be done on a draft treaty, Mr Arakhamia said.

Earlier, Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky said peace talks between Ukraine and Russia are continuing “but for the moment there are just words, nothing concrete”.

French foreign minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said there were no signs that suggest changes in Russia’s position.

Meanwhile, Ramzan Kadyrov – the head of Russia’s republic of Chechnya – said Moscow would make no concessions amid its war with Ukraine.

Putin’s army ‘defying orders and sabotaging equipment’ – GCHQ

Vladimir Putin’s troops are refusing to follow orders and are “sabotaging their own equipment” as morale among them is low, according to the head of Britain’s GCHQ spy agency.

Sir Jeremy Fleming, in a rare public address during a visit to Australia, is expected to say that the Russian president has made a “strategic miscalculation” over launching the invasion of Ukraine.

“It all adds up to the strategic miscalculation that Western leaders warned Putin it would be. It’s become his personal war, with the cost being paid by innocent people in Ukraine and, increasingly, by ordinary Russians too.”

He will also warn China against becoming “too closely aligned” with Russia amid the ongoing invasion of Ukraine.
