Kremlin says the US doesn't understand the 'style of our work' amid reports that Putin's advisors

are too scared to tell him the truth

The Kremlin on Thursday pushed back on US reports that Russian President Vladimir Putin is being fed bad information by his top advisors about his military's failures in Ukraine because they are "too afraid to tell him the truth," saying that American officials "don't understand" how Russia works.

Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters that "it turns out that neither the State Department nor the Pentagon have real information about what is happening in the Kremlin," according to state-run newspaper Rossiyskaya Gazeta.

"They simply do not understand what is happening in the Kremlin, they don't understand President Putin, they don't understand the decision-making mechanism, and they don't understand the style of our work," Peskov said.

Peskov added, "It is not just regrettable, it elicits concern, because this complete lack of understanding leads to erroneous decisions, tragic decisions that could have very bad consequences," according The Associated Press.

A little more than a month ago you were assuring the World
That accusations Russia was preparing to invade Ukraine were
“hysterics”.

Kremlin Gremlins are liars AND cowards.

I remember reading another article suggesting that Putin regularly watched American media. If that is true, how can he not know how things are going in Ukraine?
