One expert tells Fox News Digital that Putin placed one of his top intelligence officials on house arrest in order to shift blame for the Ukrainian invasion from the US to Russia.

According to a report from the Sunday Times, Russian journalist Andrei Soldatov claims that Putin has arrested the head of the Federal Security Service. Fox News did not confirm this.

Russian expert says that PUT IN will do what is necessary to slay out.

Beseda and his deputy Anatoly Bolyukh have been placed under house arrest.

Russia's top security and counterintelligence apparatus is the Federal Security Service. A former U.S. intelligence officer tells Fox News Digital that the move signals Putin's unhappiness with his intelligence community's assessment of the Ukrainian invasion.

Rebekah Koffler, a former U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency agent and author of "Putin's Playbook: Russia's Secret Plan", said that it means that Putin is angry that he wasn't provided with accurate intelligence.

Zelenskyy wants Russia to let them come.

Vladimir Osechkin, an exiled Russian human rights activist, confirmed the arrests in the Sunday Times report and said that more than 20 Moscow addresses of colleagues who are suspected of contacting journalists were searched.

Osechkin said in the report that the formal basis for conducting these searches is the accusation of the misuse of funds.

Koffler believes that poor intelligence has contributed to the two major miscalculations that have hampered the capture of control of Ukraine.

The failure to anticipate how fiercely Ukranians would fight for their homeland and the role technology would play in bringing the images of destruction to households across the world are two of the mistakes.

Koffler told Fox News that he was trapped because he had to execute the operation to reach his goal.

While the U.S. officials say that Putin has gained ground in his push to capture the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv, it is widely believed that his invasion has not gone as smoothly as he had hoped.

A U.S. official told Fox News during the first few days of the invasion that they believed the resistance was greater than the Russians expected.

President Biden said this week that Putin failed on multiple fronts during his invasion of Ukraine.

Biden said that he hoped to dominate Ukraine without a fight. He wanted to weaken the alliance. He wanted to split the American democracies in terms of their positions.
