The intelligence of the Russian Federation was informed about the possible invasion of Ukrainian forces in the Kursk region two weeks before the start of the operation. However, according to Bloomberg, these warnings were not conveyed to Russian President Vladimir Putin. As a result, the Russian defense forces were taken by surprise, which revealed serious problems in communication and management of higher military structures.
No one informed about the possible invasion of the Kursk region by the Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, although intelligence knew about it two weeks in advance. This is reported by Bloomberg.
According to a person close to the Kremlin, Russian army commander Valery Gerasimov and senior officials apparently ignored intelligence warnings that "Ukrainian soldiers" were massing near the border with Russia's western Kursk region two weeks before the offensive began, and no one informed the president. Vladimir Putin.
As Bloomberg writes, the defense forces inside Russia were taken by surprise and did not initially resist the attack.
The source said Gerasimov was unlikely to be removed from office in the short term, but the Kremlin was running out of patience with his actions in the war.
Bloomberg notes that Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Pisik did not respond to a request for comment on the situation.
Contextrosia has declared a state of emergency in Kursk Oblast as it battles for a third day to repel the invasion, which Gerasimov said was made up of about 1,000 Ukrainian soldiers backed by tanks and armored vehicles.
He told Putin in a televised meeting on Wednesday that Russia had deployed troops, airstrikes and artillery to try to stop the offensive.
The Russian dictator Putin reacted to the events in the area of the course a day later and accused Ukraine of large-scale provocation.
The press secretary of the White House, Karin Jean Pierre, confirmed that the US was not warned about the operation in the Kursk region before its implementation. However, the US administration plans to contact Ukraine for detailed information about the purpose and nature of the breach.
