The FSB’s Kremlin-authorized campaign shows that the security services are “triumphing” in the confrontation between the two leading wartime security agencies — the army and the FSB — a source close to the Kremlin told The Moscow Times.

“There must be one single party to blame for the failure of the invasion,” the source said.

“It is either the special services, which were engaged in intelligence and analytical preparations for the war and promised Putin a triumphant operation and a quick victory but failed,” he said, “or the ‘second army of the world’ under PR-czar Shoigu which was supposed to ensure Putin’s victory — but turned out to be a paper tiger and failed miserably."
