The White House said that Russian generals are misleading Russian President Vladimir Putin on the Ukraine–Russia war’s progress.

“We believe that Putin is being misinformed by his advisors about how badly the Russian military is performing, and how the Russian economy is being crippled by sanctions because his senior advisors are too afraid to tell him the truth,” White House Communications Director Kate Bedingfield said in a press briefing.
