According to the British Times newspaper, the Russian secret service FSB is looking at Ukraine's invasion with great concern. The paper quotes an FSB informant who criticised the situation in a document uncovered by Russian opposition figures. According to an internal source of the FSB, war is a total “destruction of” and Russia's current situation is comparable to the fall of Nazi Germany.
The 13,000 character document was published by Russian human rights activist Vladimir Orichkin on Facebook and on the Gulag.net website against corruption. The Bellingcat research platform classifies it as authentic. Therefore, two other sources on FSB “had no doubt” that the report was written by a colleague. However, authenticity cannot be verified independently.
The text itself has it all: The FSB is said to have remained largely in the dark for plans to invade Kremlin chief Vladimir Putin. Even now, twelve days after the invasion began, the secret service lacks a mirror. No one in the Kremlin can say exactly how dead they are on the Russian side, because “we've lost contact with important divisions”. Hence, more than 10,000 soldiers may already have died. Officially, the Russian Defence Ministry speaks of fewer than 500 deaths.
“There are no options for a possible”
Russian FSB analyst gives a grim view of further war flow. Russia “has no way out”: “There is no way for a possible victory, only loss”. The Russian army must fight the Ukrainians very stubborn. Even if one of Putin's main goals of killing Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is achieved, Russia has little chance of conquering Ukraine. Even with minimal resistance from Ukrainians, we would need more than 500,000 men, without counting supplies and logistics. ”
Secret Service agent conclusion: “Our situation is like that of Germany between 1943 and 1944, only that's our starting point”.
The pessimistic view from the inside coincides with recent findings of American secret services. Late last week, the transmitter The NBC noted Putin is increasingly frustrated by the stalled invasion, citing several sources of the secret service. “We don't think he has any realistic mirror for what's going on,” was quoted as saying a diplomat familiar with Russia.
