MOSCOW - The depth of the infighting inside the Russian government appears broader and deeper than previously understood, judging from aThe additional documents, which did not surface in a 53-page set that came to wide public attention online last week, paint a picture of the Russian government feuding over the count of the dead and wounded in the Ukraine war, with the domestic intelligence agency accusing the military of obscuring the scale of casualties that Russia has suffered.
The entry, dated February 28 in a document with a series of updates about the war in Ukraine and other global hot spots, appears to be based on electronic intercepts collected by American intelligence agencies. The leaked entry about the casualty numbers provides little context for the intelligence officials’ finding, but it reports that the FSB is questioning the defence ministry’s own casualty count in discussions within the Russian government.
The document does not specify the casualty figures that the defence ministry is circulating within the government. Mr Putin attempted to resolve the dispute personally by calling Mr Prigozhin and Mr Shoigu into a meeting believed to have taken place on February 22, one document reports. One slide that appears to have been produced by the military’s Joint Staff and dated February 23 concludes that Russia has failed to disrupt the massive flow of Western arms and equipment into Ukraine since the start of the war, and asserts that the Kremlin’s battered military will not be able to change that anytime soon.
